Abstract
In a collision surface determination computing section, a collision prediction ECUselects a surface of an own vehicle where an opponent vehicle collides when the own vehicle and opponent vehicle collide with each other. A vehicle track intersection computing sectioncalculates an intersection between the own vehicle and the opponent vehicle. According to the intersection between the own vehicle and opponent vehicle and respective times when the own vehicle and opponent vehicle reach the intersection, a collision determining sectiondetermines whether the own vehicle and opponent vehicle collide with each other or not. When it is determined that the own vehicle and opponent vehicle collide with each other, a collision position computing sectioncalculates a collision position of the own vehicle where the opponent vehicle collides according to the collision surface selected in the collision surface determination computing section
