Abstract
An anticollision radar system for a vehicle is provided. This system includes a distance sensor for measuring distance to an object present in a given forward detectable range, and determines a curvature of a road on which the system vehicle is moving, determines the probability that the object present in a given forward detectable range of the distance sensor is identified as a preceding vehicle traveling on the same lane as the system vehicle in a preselected relation to the distance to the object measured by the distance sensor and the curvature of the road determined, determines a target speed based on the probability determined, and modifies the speed of the system vehicle to the target speed determined.
