VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM

A vehicle control system conducts contact avoidance brake control and electronic stability control on a vehicle using a braking unit. The vehicle control system includes one or more processors, and one or more storage media in which a program to be executed by the one or more processors is stored. The program includes one or more commands that are directed to cause the one or more processors to perform a skid prediction process and an enabling process based on a reference vehicle behavior and a control value of the contact avoidance brake control. The skid prediction process is adapted to predict whether the vehicle will exhibit a skid behavior during the contact avoidance brake control. The enabling process is adapted to enable the electronic stability control if the electronic stability control is in a disabled mode when it is predicted that the vehicle will exhibit the skid behavior.
