Abstract:
1. A vehicular control object determination system comprising: an object detector for detecting an object that is present in the direction of travel of a vehicle; a travel locus estimator for estimating a future travel locus of the vehicle; a control object determiner for determining a control object based on a detection result obtained by the object detector, a travel locus estimated by the travel locus estimator, and predetermined control object determination conditions; a relative sideways speed detector for detecting a sideways speed relative to a the vehicle of the object detected by the object detector; and a comparator for comparing the relative sideways speed detected by the relative sideways speed detector with a predetermined threshold value; the control object determiner modifying the control object determination conditions when the estimated travel locus is not a straight line and the detected relative sideways speed is less than the threshold value.
