Original Abstract Submitted

A collision determination device for determining a type of collision of a vehicle, includes an acceleration acquisition unit and a determination unit. The acceleration acquisition unit is configured to acquire a longitudinal-direction acceleration and a lateral-direction acceleration output from side sensors provided on left and right sides of a vehicle body, which detect the longitudinal-direction acceleration and the lateral-direction acceleration. The determination unit is configured to determine a type of collision based on relational information indicating a relationship of the longitudinal-direction acceleration and the lateral-direction acceleration detected by the acceleration acquisition unit to the longitudinal-direction acceleration and the lateral-direction acceleration according to the type of collision.
