VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD
First Claim
1. A vehicle control system, comprising:
- a controller configured to, when a collision of a host vehicle with another vehicle traveling in an intersecting direction that intersects with a front-rear direction of the host vehicle is predicted, when the collision with the other vehicle is unavoidable and when the other vehicle comes into collision with the host vehicle in the intersecting direction, automatically turn a steered wheel of the host vehicle before the host vehicle collides with the other vehicle, the controller being configured to vary a direction of the steered wheel that is turned by the controller in response to whether there is a target, other than the other vehicle, around the host vehicle.wherein the controller is configured to, when there is no target, other than the other vehicle, around the host vehicle, turn the steered wheel toward the other vehicle, andwherein the controller is configured to, when there is the target, other than the other vehicle, on a side across from the other vehicle side in a width direction of the host vehicle, turn the steered wheel toward the target side.

Abstract
A vehicle control system includes a controller configured to, when a collision of a host vehicle with another vehicle traveling in a direction that intersects with a front-rear direction of the host vehicle is predicted (Yes in S20), when the collision with the other vehicle is unavoidable (No in S70) and when the other vehicle comes into collision with the host vehicle in the intersecting direction, automatically turn a steered wheel of the host vehicle before the host vehicle collides with the other vehicle. The controller is configured to vary a direction of the steered wheel that is turned by the controller (S100 or S110) in response to whether there is a target, other than the other vehicle, around the host vehicle (Yes or No in S90).

10. A control method for a vehicle, the vehicle including a controller, the control method comprising:
-
when a collision of a host vehicle with another vehicle traveling in an intersecting direction that intersects with a front-rear direction of the host vehicle is predicted, when the collision with the other vehicle is unavoidable and when the other vehicle comes into collision with the host vehicle in the intersecting direction, automatically turning, by the controller, a steered wheel of the host vehicle before the host vehicle collides with the other vehicle; and varying, by the controller, a direction of the steered wheel that is turned by the controller in response to whether there is a target, other than the other vehicle, around the host vehicle, wherein the controller, when there is no target, other than the other vehicle, around the host vehicle, turns the steered wheel toward the other vehicle, and wherein the controller, when there is the target, other than the other vehicle, on a side across from the other vehicle side in a width direction of the host vehicle, turns the steered wheel toward the target side.
