Collision behavior control apparatus

A collision behavior control apparatus, including;

• relative position detection means for detecting the relative position of a pedestrian or a two-wheeler with a rider riding thereon with respect to a vehicle;
• direction speed detection means for detecting the direction of movement and the speed of the vehicle;
• contacting means which contacting portion is disposed in a portion of the front of a vehicle,
• collision determination means for determining whether there occurs a collision against the pedestrian or the two-wheeler, on the basis of a piece of relative position information indicating the relative position detected by the relative position detection means and a piece of information indicating the direction of movement and the speed of the vehicle detected by the direction speed detection means;
• collision process prediction means for predicting the process until there occurs a collision against the pedestrian or the two-wheeler, on the basis of the result of determination of the collision determination means, the piece of relative position information, and the piece of information indicating the direction of movement and the speed of the vehicle;
• and
• control means for controlling, on the basis of a piece of prediction information predicted by the collision process prediction means, the contacting means such that the pedestrian or the two-wheeler rider separated from the two-wheeler is pushed such that the pedestrian or the two-wheeler rider is not bumped up onto the hood of the vehicle, thereby moving the pedestrian or the two-wheeler rider to the vehicle side.
