Abstract
A lane keep control device performs lane keep control for controlling lateral movement of the vehicle so that the vehicle travels on a target path set in the own lane in which the vehicle is traveling. Further, when the lane change intention of the driver to change the lane is detected, the lane keep control device weakens the control strength of the lane keep control as the vehicle moves away from the target path as compared with a case where the lane change intention is not detected.
Claims5
A lane keep control device configured to perform lane keep control for controlling lateral movement of a vehicle to cause the vehicle to travel along a target path set in an own lane in which the vehicle is traveling, the lane keep control device being configured to, when a lane change intention is detected, reduce control strength of the lane keep control as the vehicle deviates from the target path, as compared to when the lane change intention is not detected, the lane change intention being an intention of a driver to make a lane change.
A lane keep control method in which a computer mounted on a vehicle performs lane keep control for controlling lateral movement of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to travel along a target path set in an own lane in which the vehicle is traveling, the lane keep control method comprising:
- detecting a lane change intention by the computer, the lane change intention being an intention of a driver to make a lane change;
- and
- when the lane change intention is detected, reducing control strength of the lane keep control by the computer as the vehicle deviates from the target path, as compared to when the lane change intention is not detected.
A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that causes a computer mounted on a vehicle to perform lane keep control for controlling lateral movement of the vehicle to cause the vehicle to travel along a target path set in an own lane in which the vehicle is traveling, the program causing the computer to
- detect a lane change intention, the lane change intention being an intention of a driver to make a lane change, and
- when the lane change intention is detected, reduce control strength of the lane keep control as the vehicle deviates from the target path, as compared to when the lane change intention is not detected.
