Braking control apparatus

Abstract

A braking control apparatus for controlling a braking operation for an own vehicle is configured to: acquire information on an object detected around the own vehicle; calculate, when a collision between the own vehicle and the object is predicted based on both an estimated route of the object estimated based on the acquired information on the object and an estimated route of the own vehicle, a collision range in the own vehicle at a collision timing between the own vehicle and the object or a collision range in the object at the collision timing; and control, according to a positional relationship between a predetermined braking-unrequired range in the own vehicle and the calculated collision range in the own vehicle or a positional relationship between a predetermined braking-unrequired range in the object and the calculated collision range in the object, whether to perform the braking operation for the own vehicle.
