Abstract
When a collision between a vehicle and a physical object is detected, a notification control unit transmits a notification command to a notification device. Upon receiving the notification command, the notification device notifies an external emergency notification center. While the notification device is notifying the emergency notification center, a brake control unit maintains the actuated state of a brake device and stops the vehicle. This configuration makes it possible to prevent any increase in accidents after a vehicle collision, and to prevent the driver from escaping.
