COLLISION REDUCTION CONTROL DEVICE

To provide a collision reduction control device for reducing shortage of driving force at a start of a vehicle after a brake is automatically activated.SOLUTION: A collision reduction control device 10 is mounted to a vehicle 1 having an automatic variable transmission 25 to avoid a collision of the vehicle 1 with an obstacle or reduce damage of the collision. The collision reduction control device includes: a collision reduction control section 11 for avoiding a collision of the vehicle 1 or reducing damage of the collision by issuing a warning to a driver and then automatically activating a brake of the vehicle 1 when the vehicle 1 comes close to the obstacle by a threshold distance or less or predicted time until the vehicle 1 reaches the obstacle becomes a predetermined threshold value or less; and a transmission control section 13 for changing a transmission ratio of the automatic variable transmission 25. When the warning is issued, the transmission control section 13 changes the transmission ratio of the automatic variable transmission 25 to a side larger than a current transmission ratio.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】自動ブレーキ作動後の車両発進時の駆動力不足を軽減する衝突軽減制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】衝突軽減制御装置１０は、自動可変変速機２５を有する車両１に搭載され、障害物に対する車両１の衝突を回避、又は衝突の被害を軽減する衝突軽減制御装置であって、車両１が障害物に閾距離以下まで近づいたとき又は車両１が障害物に到達するまでの予想時間が所定閾値以下になったときに、運転者に警報を行った後に、車両１のブレーキを自動的に作動させることにより、車両１の衝突を回避又は衝突の被害を軽減する衝突軽減制御部１１と、自動可変変速機２５の変速比を変化させる変速制御部１３とを備え、変速制御部１３は、警報が作動したときに、自動可変変速機２５の変速比を現在の変速比よりも大きい側に変更する。【選択図】図１
