Vehicle control system

A vehicle control system comprising

• an electronic control unit configured to:
• recognize at least one object in front of a host vehicle using a sensor;
• determine a risk of the at least one object entering a course of the host vehicle;
• and
• perform, when the at least one object enters a target area set in front of the host vehicle with respect to the host vehicle, driving support for decreasing a likelihood of collision of the host vehicle with the at least one object,
• wherein the electronic control unit is configured to:
• determine whether the risk is high or low based on a relative relationship between two or more objects when the at least one object includes the two or more objects, and
• set the target area to be larger when it is determined that the risk is high than when it is determined that the risk is low,
• determine whether the risk is high or low for a moving object with respect to a stationary object when the at least one object includes the moving object and the stationary object,
• acquire a comparison result by performing at least one of (i) comparison between a current position of the moving object in a road width direction relative to the stationary object and a first threshold range, (ii) comparison between a future position of the moving object in the road with direction when the moving object is level with the stationary object in a vehicle traveling direction of the host vehicle and a second threshold range, (iii) comparison between a time until the moving object is level with the stationary object in the vehicle traveling direction and a third threshold range, and (iv) comparison between a distance of the moving object from the stationary object in the vehicle traveling direction and a fourth threshold range;
• and
• determine whether the risk is high or low based on the comparison result.
