Abstract:
A protection control device is for being used in a vehicle having a protection device and includes an output value acquisition unit, an object recognition unit, a collision subject identification unit, a collision position acquisition unit, and an operation determination unit. The operation determination unit uses, as an operation threshold, a predetermined default threshold when a collision position acquired by the collision position acquisition unit is not in a low output area of a front end portion where the output value of the collision sensor is likely to be lower than another area of the front end portion. The operation determination unit uses, as the operation threshold, a low output area threshold when the collision position is in the low output area of the front end portion. The low output area threshold is less than the predetermined default threshold.

Claim (Index 6):
The protection control device according to  claim 4 , wherein\n the bicycle threshold includes a horizontal threshold and a vertical threshold, the horizontal threshold assumes that the crewed bicycle collides with the low output area in a horizontal posture in which a traveling direction of the crewed bicycle is orthogonal to a traveling direction of the vehicle, the vertical threshold assumes that the crewed bicycle collides with the low output area in a vertical posture in which the traveling direction of the crewed bicycle is parallel to the traveling direction of the vehicle, the vertical threshold is less than the horizontal threshold, the operation determination unit is configured to determine whether a posture of the crewed bicycle is the horizontal posture or the vertical posture when the collision subject, which is identified by the collision subject identification unit, is the crewed bicycle, and the operation determination unit uses, as the operation threshold: the horizontal threshold when the posture of the crewed bicycle, which is the collision subject, is the horizontal posture; and the vertical threshold when the posture of the crewed bicycle is the vertical posture.
