Patent attributes
A collision avoidance control method for a vehicle, through which a collision avoidance control apparatus controls a vehicle to avoid a collision. The collision avoidance control method includes: calculating a TTC (Time To Collision) between the vehicle and a rearward vehicle, when the rearward vehicle approaching the rear of the vehicle is sensed; determining whether the vehicle and the rearward vehicle are likely to collide with each other, by comparing the TTC to a preset reference TTC; and performing a collision avoidance function when it is determined that the vehicle and the rearward vehicle are likely to collide with each other, the collision avoidance function including one or more of a collision risk warning signal output function, a forward acceleration control function and a lane change control function.
