Abstract
A collision avoidance control system includes an ECU, and the ECU calculates an own vehicle course as a course along which an own vehicle is expected to proceed during a first transfer prediction time, and time-dependent own vehicle positions on the own vehicle course, and calculates an oncoming vehicle course as a course along which an oncoming vehicle is expected to proceed during a second transfer prediction time, and time-depending oncoming vehicle positions on the oncoming vehicle course. When it is determined that the own vehicle or oncoming vehicle is traveling on a curve, the ECU sets the first transfer prediction time and the second transfer prediction time such that at least one of the first transfer prediction time or the second transfer prediction time is set to a shorter time, as compared with the case where neither of the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle is traveling on a curve, determines whether one of the own vehicle positions overlaps a corresponding one of the oncoming vehicle positions, and performs avoidance control according to the result of determination.
