When a pedestrian or the like in an area that is ahead in the direction of movement of a vehicle travelling on a road and is adjacent to the road is moving in a direction to cross the road, a system ECU (9) varies the time of execution of a safety operation for ensuring the safety of the pedestrian in accordance with a road condition in the area where the pedestrian or the like is present. Specifically, the time of execution of the safety operation is delayed in the order of a first road condition, in which the area in which the pedestrian is present is not in a roadway, a second road condition, in which the area is in a roadway and not in an opposing traffic lane, and a third road condition, in which the area is in a roadway and in an opposing traffic lane. The likelihood of the pedestrian crossing the road on which the vehicle is travelling increases in the order of the first road condition, the second road condition, and the third road condition. Thus, by varying the time of execution of the safety operation as described above, execution of unnecessary safety operations will be limited while the safety of pedestrians is ensured.
