Claim 0:
1. A vehicle control system that uses communication between a first vehicle and a second vehicle, wherein:
the first vehicle includes a communication device configured to send and receive vehicle-to-vehicle communication information, a memory configured to store the vehicle-to-vehicle communication information, and a processor configured to perform abnormal traveling determination processing for determining whether the first vehicle is travelling abnormally;
the second vehicle includes a communication device configured to send and receive the vehicle-to-vehicle communication information, a memory configured to store the vehicle-to-vehicle communication information and driving environment information on the second vehicle, and a processor configured to perform objective determination processing for determining whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally;
the processor of the second vehicle is configured to determine, in the objective determination processing, whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally based on the driving environment information on the second vehicle, to generate an objective determination result as the vehicle-to-vehicle communication information to be sent to the first vehicle, and to send the objective determination result to the communication device of the second vehicle, the objective determination result indicating a determination result of the objective determination processing;
the processor of the first vehicle is configured to determine, in the abnormal traveling determination processing, whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally based on the objective determination result and, when it is determined that the first vehicle is traveling abnormally, to perform emergency vehicle control processing for the first vehicle;
the memory of the first vehicle is configured to further store driving environment information on the first vehicle;
the abnormal traveling determination processing is configured to include subjective determination processing for subjectively determining whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally;
the processor of the first vehicle is configured to determine, in the subjective determination processing, whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally based on the driving environment information on the first vehicle;
the processor of the first vehicle is configured to comprehensively determine, in the abnormal traveling determination processing, whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally based on the objective determination result and on a subjective determination result, the subjective determination result indicating a result of the subjective determination processing;
the processor of the first vehicle is configured to comprehensively determine, in the abnormal traveling determination processing, whether the first vehicle is traveling abnormally based on a calculation expression represented using the subjective determination result, the objective determination result, and weighting coefficients of the subjective determination result and the objective determination result; and
the weighting coefficients are changed based on the driving environment information on the first vehicle.
