ABSTRACT:
A vehicle control system captures an external image from the primary vehicle and stores templates for detecting the approach of the another vehicle in order to perform a collision avoidance action. A template is updated when a brake pedal is pressed by a driver, and the external image is compared with the template to determine, based upon the result of the comparison, whether the other vehicle is approaching the primary vehicle. The system instructs the primary vehicle to perform the collision avoidance action when the comparison exceeds a threshold value. When an image similar to the template is captured and the driver does not perform a collision avoidance action such as releasing an accelerator or pressing a brake pedal, throttle valve is forcibly closed to inhibit accelerator of control, and braking force is provided even if harsh braking is performed by the driver.
