Abstract
A millimeter-wave radar (obstacle detecting device) detects an obstacle in front of a traveling vehicle. A driving-state detecting device detects a specified driving state of the vehicle. An operation-timing changing device changes an operation timing of operational devices according to detection results of the driving-state detecting device. A control unit (operation control device) operates the operational devices (warning device, brake device, seatbelt pre-tensioner) at the above operation timing. Thus, the safe and smooth vehicle driving can be attained without an improper detection of the obstacle.
