Abstract
A lane departure prevention apparatus comprises a control unit configured to perform a lane departure prevention operation when there is a probability that the host vehicle departs from the host lane, and cancel performing the lane departure prevention operation when a turn signal of the host vehicle is in a blinking state. The control unit is configured to permit performing the lane departure prevention operation without cancelling performing the lane departure prevention operation when a rear approaching vehicle that is positioned in the host lane and is approaching the host vehicle from behind is present, even when the turn signal of the host vehicle is in the blinking state.
Claims8
A lane departure prevention apparatus comprising a control unit configured to perform, as a departure suppression support operation, at least one of an alert generation operation to generate an alert to a driver of a host vehicle and a lane departure prevention operation to apply a force in a direction for avoiding a departure of said host vehicle from a host lane to said host vehicle, when there is a probability that said host vehicle departs from said host lane;
- and cancel performing said departure suppression support operation when a turn signal of said host vehicle is in a blinking state,
- wherein,
- said control unit is configured to permit performing said departure suppression support operation without cancelling performing said departure suppression support operation when a rear approaching vehicle that is positioned in said host lane and is approaching said host vehicle from behind is present, even when said turn signal of said host vehicle is in said blinking state.
A lane departure prevention method comprising:
- a step of performing, as a departure suppression support operation, at least one of an alert generation operation to generate an alert to a driver of a host vehicle and a lane departure prevention operation to apply a force in a direction for avoiding a departure of said host vehicle from a host lane to said host vehicle, when there is a probability that said host vehicle departs from said host lane;
- a step of cancelling performing said departure suppression support operation when a turn signal of said host vehicle is in a blinking state;
- and
- a step of permitting performing said departure suppression support operation without cancelling performing said departure suppression support operation when a rear approaching vehicle that is positioned in said host lane and is approaching said host vehicle from behind is present, even when said turn signal of said host vehicle is in said blinking state.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program, said program causing a computer applied to a host vehicle to implement:
- a step of performing, as a departure suppression support operation, at least one of an alert generation operation to generate an alert to a driver of a host vehicle and a lane departure prevention operation to apply a force in a direction for avoiding a departure of said host vehicle from a host lane to said host vehicle, when there is a probability that said host vehicle departs from said host lane;
- a step of cancelling performing said departure suppression support operation when a turn signal of said host vehicle is in a blinking state;
- and
- a step of permitting performing said departure suppression support operation without cancelling performing said departure suppression support operation when a rear approaching vehicle that is positioned in said host lane and is approaching said host vehicle from behind is present, even when said turn signal of said host vehicle is in said blinking state.
