PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collision damage reduction system that appropriately performs collision determination for a horizontal position of an object when determining execution timing of damage reduction control by interpolating TTC.SOLUTION: A collision damage reduction system includes an object detection device 10 that detects an object; an arrival time calculation device 11 that calculates an arrival time required to arrive at the object; and a device control device 12 that evaluates the arrival time and controls a reduction device for damage due to collision with the object. The device control device includes: a horizontal position reference value adjustment means 22 that sets, when the arrival time is not more than a threshold value, a reference value for determining whether or not a horizontal position of the object collides with an own vehicle to be smaller than when the arrival time is larger than the threshold value; an elapsed time count means 24 that counts an elapsed time after an arrival time is obtained from the arrival time calculation device when the horizontal position of the object is smaller than the reference value adjusted by the horizontal position reference value adjustment means; and an avoidance device control means 26 that starts control of an avoidance device.
