Collision avoidance support control device with: a braking device configured to generate a braking force applied to a host vehicle in accordance with a driver's
brake pedal actuation; an ambient area detection sensor configured to obtain information about an object located near the host vehicle; and a
control unit configured to: Determine whether or not there is a probability of a collision between the host vehicle and an object, based on the information obtained by the ambient area detection sensor; Performing automatic
brake control to cause the braking device to generate the braking force applied to the host vehicle without requiring the driver to operate the
brake pedal in order to avoid a collision when determined to be likely; and Performing steering priority control to determine whether a steering actuation index value indicative of driver steering action satisfies a steering priority condition or not, and to prevent
automatic braking control from being performed when it is determined that the steering actuation index value satisfies the steering priority condition, where the
control unit is configured to: Determine whether an acceleration actuation index value, indicative of driver acceleration pedal actuation, satisfies a fault pedal actuation determination condition; and Determine that an erroneous pedal actuation has occurred when it is determined that the acceleration actuation index value satisfies the erroneous pedal actuation determination condition, wherein the erroneous pedal actuation is an actuation such that the driver mistakenly acts an accelerator pedal although the driver intends to actuate a brake pedal, characterized by the fact that the
control unit is still configured to: Using a strict requirement as the steering priority condition when it is determined that incorrect pedal actuation has occurred, and using a weak requirement as the steering priority condition when it is not determined that incorrect pedal actuation has occurred, wherein the strict requirement is more difficult to satisfy by the steering actuation index value than the weak requirement. Using a first steering priority determination condition as the steering priority condition when the automatic
brake control has not yet started, in a state where it is not determined that the erroneous pedal actuation has occurred, in order to perform the steering priority control; Using a second steering priority determination condition as the steering priority condition when automatic
brake control is already started, in the state where it is not determined that the erroneous pedal actuation has occurred, in order to perform steering priority control; Inability to perform steering priority control when automatic
brake control has not yet been initiated, in a state where erroneous pedal actuation is determined to have occurred; and Using the second steering priority determination condition as the steering priority condition when automatic brake control is already started, in a state where it is determined that the erroneous pedal actuation has occurred, in order to perform steering priority control.
