Abstract
In a vehicle collision determination apparatus, a position calculation unit calculates a trajectory of a target that is a movement trajectory of the target, and calculates an entrainment trajectory of the vehicle that is a movement trajectory of the vehicle during a turn, and calculate a position of collision where a collision is likely to occur between the vehicle and the target based on the trajectory of the target and the entrainment trajectory of the vehicle. A time calculation unit calculates a time to collision (TTC) that is a time it takes for the target to reach the position of collision. In response to the time to collision being equal to or less than a predefined determination threshold, a risk determination unit determines that there is a risk of collision between the vehicle and the target.
