VEHICULAR BRAKING CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicular braking control device equipped with collision detecting means that detects a collision of a host vehicle and braking force applying means that applies a braking force to the host vehicle when a collision of the host vehicle has been detected, the vehicular braking control device comprising:
- following vehicle running state detecting means that detects whether or not there is a following vehicle and the running state thereof;
following vehicle braking force detecting means that detects whether or not the following vehicle has a braking control device on board; and
avoidance determining means which, in a case where there is the following vehicle at the time of a collision of the host vehicle, discriminates whether or not the following vehicle can avoid the host vehicle on the basis of information detected by the following vehicle running state detecting means and the following vehicle braking force detecting means,wherein the braking force applying means varies the braking force it applies to the host vehicle on the basis of the result of the determination by the avoidance determining means.

Abstract
To provide a vehicular braking control device which, at the time of a collision of a host vehicle, can apply a braking force to the host vehicle while reducing the potential for a rear-end collision from a following vehicle.
A vehicular braking control device equipped with collision detecting means that detects a collision of a host vehicle and braking force applying means that applies a braking force to the host vehicle when a collision of the host vehicle has been detected includes: following vehicle running state detecting means that detects whether or not there is, and the running state of, a following vehicle; following vehicle braking force detecting means that detects whether or not the following vehicle has a braking control device on board; and avoidance determining means which, in a case where there is the following vehicle at the time of a collision of the host vehicle, discriminates whether or not the following vehicle can avoid the host vehicle on the basis of information detected by the following vehicle running state detecting means and the following vehicle braking force detecting means, wherein the braking force applying means varies the braking force it applies to the host vehicle on the basis of the result of the determination by the avoidance determining means.
