A collision reducing device 10 comprises a radar 12, an image sensor 14, a collision mitigation ECU 40, and a brake ECU 24. A collision predicting section 50 of the collision mitigation ECU 40 has a first actuating section 52 for causing a vehicle control section 46 to perform running control when a collision possibility exceeds a reference value in one-frame determination, a second actuating section 54 for causing the vehicle control section 46 to perform running control when the collision possibility exceeds a reference value in M-frame determination, and a selecting section 56 for selectively operating the first actuating section 52 and second actuating section 54, so that the vehicle control section 46 can be operated by two kinds of numbers of determinations, whereby the speed of collision determination can be secured by a smaller number of determinations when operating the first actuating section 52, while malfunctions can be reduced more by a greater number of determinations when operating the second actuating section 54. |
