Abstract:
If the sign of the relative speed of the non-fixed object is negative, the determination width for own lane is expanded in the lane-width direction. According to the expanded determination width for own lane, both the preceding vehicle on the adjacent lane and the preceding vehicle on the own lane are recognized as existing on the own lane. Therefore, if it is determined that the risk to collide with the preceding vehicle on the adjacent lane is high, the decelerating assist control is executed to prevent collision with this preceding vehicle. Also, if it is determined that the risk to collide with the preceding vehicle on the own lane is high, the decelerating assist control for preventing collision with this preceding vehicle is executed.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicle control device comprising:\n a non-fixed object detection device is configured to detect a non-fixed object in front of a subject vehicle; and a control unit is configured to execute decelerating assist control of the subject vehicle based on detection result of the non-fixed object, wherein the control unit is further configured to: calculate relative distance in a vehicle's width direction of the subject vehicle between the subject vehicle and a nearest non-fixed object to the subject vehicle of all the non-fixed objects; and determine whether or not to execute the decelerating assist control by comparing the relative distance and a determination width for determining an own lane along which the subject vehicle travels, wherein the determination width for own lane is set based on relative speed of the nearest non-fixed object in a travel direction of the subject vehicle.
