Abstract
A collision prevention apparatus includes a driving assistance ECU configured to determine a risk of an own vehicle colliding with an obstacle when it is determined that the obstacle is present ahead of the own vehicle based on information acquired by an object target information acquisition apparatus that acquires information of an object target around the own vehicle, and to execute countermeasure control that reduces the risk when it is determined that the risk is present. The driving assistance ECU executes at least one of changing a condition for the determination of the risk such that it is more easily determined that the risk is present or causing an effect of the countermeasure control to be higher when it is determined that the obstacle is a leading vehicle that temporarily stops and the leading vehicle has started moving.
