Abstract:
1. A vehicle control system comprising: a radar unit that irradiates an electromagnetic wave to an area around a vehicle and that outputs information about a received reflected wave; a positional information output unit that outputs positional information about a reflection point on the basis of the information about the reflected wave, output from the radar unit; an anti-collision safety control unit that executes anti-collision safety control for avoiding or alleviating a collision with an object that includes the reflection point on the basis of the positional information about the reflection point, output from the positional information output unit; a cancellation unit that calculates an index value that increases when a variation, over a predetermined period, in a position of the reflection point in a direction perpendicular to a travelling direction of the vehicle is smaller than a predetermined amount and, when the index value exceeds a threshold, issues a command to the anti-collision safety control unit such that the anti-collision safety control unit does not execute anti-collision safety control over the object that includes the reflection point; and a travel route determination unit that determines whether the vehicle is travelling near an entrance of a curve, wherein when the travel route determination unit determines that the vehicle is travelling near an entrance of a curve, the cancellation unit increases the threshold as compared with when the travel route determination unit determines that the vehicle is not travelling near an entrance of a curve.
