Abstract:
A braking control system for a vehicle, comprising:an object detecting device for detecting an object existing ahead of a vehicle in the direction of movement of the vehicle,braking device adapted to brake the vehicle,determining means for determining a possibility of contact of the vehicle with the object based upon a relative positional relationship between the vehicle and the object, as a function of the output of said object detecting device,automatic braking means for carrying out an automatic braking operation by operating said braking device based on the output of said determining means, andunstable state detecting means for detecting an unstable state of the vehicle, wherein when the unstable state of the vehicle is detected by said unstable state detecting means during the automatic braking operation carried out by said braking device, the automatic braking operation is forcibly continued by said automatic braking means, based on an operational state of the unstable state detecting means.
