MOVING OBJECT CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING MOVING OBJECT

A moving object control apparatus activates a safety device that avoids a collision between a moving object and an object present ahead of the moving object in its moving direction or reduces damage from a collision when the moving object is likely to collide with the object. The moving object control apparatus includes a restricting unit that restricts activation of the safety device based on angle information including at least one of an angle of a moving direction of the object relative to the moving direction of the moving object and a change in angle per time.
