Abstract
A crossing detection unit () detects a pedestrian who is about to cross a roadway on which a vehicle () travels. A behavior detection unit () detects a behavior of a nearby vehicle traveling around the vehicle (). A stop determination unit () determines whether or not to stop the vehicle () in view of the detection of the pedestrian who is about to cross the roadway by the crossing detection unit () and the behavior of the nearby vehicle detected by the behavior detection unit (). A vehicle control unit () stops the vehicle () before the pedestrian when the stop determination unit () determines to stop the vehicle.
