Patent ID: 8131440

Claim:
A vehicle control system comprising: an initial movement state specification section that specifies an initial movement state, in which a speed of a vehicle is zero or minimal and a starting off or accelerating of the vehicle is allowed by stepping on an accelerator pedal; a starting-off direction specification section that specifies a starting-off direction of the vehicle in the initial movement state; a starting-off direction obstacle specification section that specifies an obstacle which exists in the starting-off direction of the vehicle; an incorrect starting-off sign action detection section that detects an incorrect starting-off sign action, which is predetermined as a sign of an incorrect starting-off towards the obstacle among actions of a driver of the vehicle in the initial movement state, the incorrect starting-off sign action detection section detecting an incorrect starting-off sign driving operation state as the incorrect starting-off sign action, the incorrect starting-off sign action detection section detecting, as the incorrect starting-off sign action driving operation state, an accelerator pedal mistaken stepping-on state, in which, instead of the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal is mistakenly stepped on; and an incorrect starting-off prevention output section that performs an incorrect starting-off prevention output for preventing the incorrect starting-off in conjunction with the incorrect starting-off sign action being detected, wherein while monitoring a stepping-on amount of the accelerator pedal, the incorrect starting-off sign action detection section specifies a two-step action as the accelerator pedal mistaken stepping-on state, the two-step action including a first zone and a second zone, the first zone in which the stepping-on amount is less than a predetermined threshold value in response to a starting-off at a minimal speed, the second zone in which the stepping-on amount is rapidly increasing from a level of the first zone and exceeding the predetermined threshold value because of mistakenly stepping on the accelerator pedal although intending to perform a sudden braking.
