<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain specified vehicle specification information for a vehicle around a vehicle related to the effects of the collision, predict the degree and state of the collision based on the specified vehicle specification information, and control the operation of a collision effect reduction device based on the results of prediction. <P>SOLUTION: When the other vehicle is detected around the vehicle (S30, 40), the vehicle specification information is received from the other vehicle (S50), the relative speed Vrei and the bearingϕi of the other vehicle are calculated (S80), and based on a time Tci in which the vehicle collides with the other vehicle, the possibility of collision is determined (S90). The vehicle specification information for the other vehicle which may be collided is specified (S100), the degree and state of the collision are predicted based on the time Tci up to the collision, the bearingϕ1 of the other vehicle, and the vehicle specifications, the collision effect reduction device such as an air bag device 48 operated based on the results of the prediction and the operating timing thereof are determined, and the collision effect reduction device is operated (S110). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
