A vehicle collision avoidance assist apparatus keeps stopping a collision avoidance control when a forbiddance condition is satisfied, and a collision condition is satisfied. The forbiddance condition is a condition that the collision angle is equal to or greater than a predetermined collision angle threshold. The collision condition is a condition that an own vehicle is going to collide with an object. While the own vehicle turns, the apparatus acquires an own vehicle turning angle which the own vehicle has turned about a turning center from when the own vehicle starts turning and sets the predetermined collision angle threshold such that the predetermined collision angle threshold set for the greater own vehicle turning angle is smaller than the predetermined collision angle threshold set for the smaller own vehicle turning angle.

Vehicle collision avoidance assist apparatus and vehicle collision avoidance assist program

A vehicle collision avoidance assist apparatus keeps stopping a collision avoidance control to avoid a collision of an own vehicle with an object ahead of the own vehicle when the own vehicle turns, a predetermined condition is satisfied, and a collision condition is satisfied. While the own vehicle turns, the apparatus acquires an own vehicle turning angle which is an angle which the own vehicle has turned about a turning center from when the own vehicle starts turning and change the predetermined condition, depending on the own vehicle turning angle.

A drive assistance system includes a primary target setter to designate an object determined based on a current movement locus of the own vehicle to be a primary target probably interfering with the own vehicle; a prediction locus estimation unit to estimate a prediction locus along which the own vehicle moves when primary avoidance control is executed in the own vehicle to avoid the interference with the primary target; and a secondary target setter to designate another object determined based on the prediction locus as a secondary target probably interfering with the own vehicle. The drive assistance system also includes a drive assistance controller to execute drive assistance control in the own vehicle based on a determination of whether the interference by the secondary target can be avoided by executing a secondary avoidance control in the own vehicle to avoid the interference by the secondary target.
