an other-vehicle information acquisition unit acquiring other-vehicle information that is received through vehicle-to-vehicle communication between the own vehicle and another vehicle, and that includes position information of said another vehicle;
a crash condition calculation unit calculating a crash condition between the own vehicle and said another vehicle on the basis of the route information on a course of an own vehicle to a destination and the position information of the another vehicle;
a crash damage decreasing system decreasing a level of a crash damage of an occupant of the own vehicle and being adapted to decrease the level of the crash damage that corresponds to the crash condition calculated by the crash condition calculation unit;
an operation preparation unit preparing the crash damage decreasing system being ready to operate without delay upon reception of an operation command issued by the crash condition calculation unit, whereinthe crash damage decreasing system includes;
a pre-crash control system detecting said another vehicle and determining a possibility of the crash; and
a protection system for protecting a body of the occupant against the crash that actually occurs, andthe operation preparation unit causes the protection system to go into a state in which the protection system completes protecting the body of the occupant, by adjusting at least one of brakes, engine speed, a seat control system, a seatbelt control system, an airbag, and a headrest, at a possible highest speed when the crash occurs.
