COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE METHOD

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to increase the probability of avoiding a collision between a host vehicle and a rear vehicle by appropriately maintaining an inter-vehicle distance between the host vehicle and the rear vehicle. A host vehicle is provided with a detection device 20 that contactlessly detects the behavior of objects surrounding the host vehicle. The host vehicle is also provided with the following: a warning device 40 that performs a warning operation pertaining to a warning issued to a rear vehicle that is traveling at the rear of the host vehicle; and a control device 30 that controls the warning device 40 on the basis of the results of detection by the detection device 20. The control device 30 controls the warning device 40 so as to perform the warning operation in a case where the results of detection by the detection device 20 indicate that the behavior of objects surrounding the host vehicle correspond to an unnatural behavioral pattern.
