Abstract
When an object detected by a sensor (20L, 20R) is not an unnecessary object and the object's collision probability index satisfies the predetermined condition, a pre-collision control ECU 10 performs a pre-collision control to prepare for a collision between an own vehicle and this object. The pre-collision control ECU determines that the object is the unnecessary object, when an initially detected location which is a location of the object in relation to the own vehicle when the sensor initially detected the object is in an unnecessary object area NA, and a velocity index value which represents a degree of a velocity change of an initial detected object whose the initially detected location is in the unnecessary object area does not fall within a predetermined range.
