Abstract:
An anti-collision support system for an automotive vehicle, comprising:a vehicular stop position determining section that determines a stop position for the vehicle to be stopped from a relative distance of the vehicle to a stop target object which provides a cause of an application of a brake to the vehicle; a deceleration start position determining section that determines a deceleration start position at which the vehicle is to start a vehicular deceleration for the vehicle to be stopped at the stop position from a vehicular velocity of the vehicle and the relative distance, the deceleration start position determining section comprising at least a deceleration distance calculating section that calculates a deceleration distance which is a vehicular running distance required for the vehicle to be decelerated and a deceleration magnitude adjustment manipulation distance calculating section that calculates a deceleration magnitude adjustment manipulation distance which is another vehicular running distance required to carry out a manipulation of an adjustment for a magnitude of the vehicular deceleration which would ordinarily be carried out at a time immediately before the vehicle is stopped; and an informing section enabled to inform a vehicular occupant of an approach of the vehicle to the stop target object while the relative distance is shorter than a distance of the vehicle to the deceleration start position and the stop target object.
