CONTROL DEVICE FOR AUTOMATIC STOP OF VEHICLE

A control device for automatic stop of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a radar and a sonar, the radar detecting a distance to an obstacle and detecting a height of the obstacle from a road surface, the sonar detecting the distance to the obstacle and detecting a signal level of a reflected wave from the obstacle. The control device includes a control unit having a processor configured to output a signal for triggering the automatic stop of the vehicle when the signal level of the reflected wave from the obstacle is greater than a predetermined threshold, wherein the control unit is configured to change the predetermined threshold for triggering the automatic stop of the vehicle between a first predetermined threshold and a second predetermined threshold based on the height of the obstacle detected by the radar.
