ABSTRACT:
A collision determination apparatus has a detection unit and a determination unit. The detection unit is disposed to a connecting portion that connects a panel member to a body of a vehicle. The detection unit detects a collision load applied to the panel member due to a collision and transmitted to the connecting portion in a direction parallel to a ground, and outputs a detection signal to the determination unit. The determination unit determines the collision. The panel member is for example a hood or a front fender of the vehicle.
