COLLISION DETERMINATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A collision determination device which is mounted on a vehicle and determines existence or non-existence of a possibility of a collision with another vehicle, the collision determination device comprising:
- a possibility determination section that determines whether or not there is a possibility of a collision with the other vehicle;
a traveling direction determination section that determines whether or not at least one of an own-vehicle and the other vehicle is traveling in a curved path; and
a condition changing section that changes a collision determination condition, which is a condition for the possibility estimation section to determine that there is a possibility of a collision, so as to be strict, when the traveling direction determination section determines that changing of a traveling direction is in progress.

Abstract
A collision determination ECU (1) includes: a possibility determination section (16) for determining whether or not there is a possibility of a collision with a forward vehicle (VC2); a traveling direction determination section (14) for determining whether or not changing of a traveling direction of at least one of an own-vehicle (VC1) and the forward vehicle (VC2) is in progress; and a condition changing section (15) for changing a collision determination condition, which is a condition for a possibility estimation section (16) to determine that there is a possibility of a collision, so as to be strict, when the traveling direction determination section (14) determines that changing of a traveling direction is in progress. As a result, unnecessary operations of a passenger protection device and the like can be suppressed.
