Abstract
A controller calculates absolute velocity of an object based on acquired own vehicle velocity and acquired relative velocity of the object with respect to an own vehicle. The controller determines a relative movement state of the object in a direction of movement of the own vehicle based on the calculated absolute velocity of the object. The controller changes a threshold for the absolute velocity of the object to be used for determination of the relative movement state of the object while the automatic brake is actuated.
