Abstract
A driving control device is configured to control driving of occupant protection devices to be mounted on a vehicle. The driving control device includes a detection result acquisition unit, a collision form estimation unit, and a device selection unit. The detection result acquisition unit acquires a detection result of an object ahead of the vehicle before collision. The collision form estimation unit estimates a form of collision that may occur with the object based on the detection result. When a collision between the vehicle and the object is detected, the device selection unit selects which of the occupant protection devices should be driven based on the collision form estimated by the collision form estimation unit.
