COLLISION REDUCING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A collision reducing device comprising:
- object detecting unit for detecting an object existing about an own vehicle;
collision possibility determining unit for determining a collision possibility between the object detected by the object detecting unit and the own vehicle at each discrete time; and
collision influence reducing unit for reducing an influence of a collision according to the collision possibility determined by the collision possibility determining unit;
wherein the collision possibility determining unit has;
first actuating unit for causing the collision influence reducing unit to perform control when the collision possibility exceeds a first reference value a first number of times or more;
second actuating unit for causing the collision influence reducing unit to perform control when the collision possibility exceeds the first reference value a second number of times or more, the second number being greater than the first number; and
selecting unit for selectively operating the first and second actuating unit.

Abstract
A collision reducing device including a radar, an image sensor, a collision mitigation, and a brake. A collision predicting section of the collision mitigation has a first actuating section for causing a vehicle control section to perform running control when a collision possibility exceeds a reference value in one-frame determination, a second actuating section for causing the vehicle control section to perform running control when the collision possibility exceeds a reference value in M-frame determination, and a selecting section for selectively operating the first actuating section and second actuating section, so that the vehicle control section 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, while malfunctions can be reduced more by a greater number of determinations when operating the second actuating section.
