Abstract
A lane deviation avoidance system is arranged to execute a lane deviation avoidance control of controlling a vehicle behavior of the host vehicle so as to avoid the host vehicle from deviating from a traveling lane when the lane deviation tendency is detected, to suppress the driving force when the lane deviation tendency is detected, and to set a controlled variable of the lane deviation avoidance control according to a degree of the suppression of the driving force.
Claims13
A lane deviation avoidance system comprising:
- a calculating unit configured to calculate a target driving force based on a driver's operation of an accelerator pedal;
- a driving force generating unit configured to generate a driving force according to the target driving force;
- and
- a control unit configured:
- to detect a lane deviation tendency of a host vehicle,
- to execute a lane deviation avoidance control of controlling a vehicle behavior of the host vehicle so as to avoid the host vehicle from deviating from a traveling lane of the host vehicle when the lane deviation tendency is detected,
- to suppress the driving force when the lane deviation tendency is detected, and
- to cancel the lane deviation avoidance control and recover the driving force on the basis of an increase of the driver's operation of the accelerator pedal from a non-zero amount of accelerator pedal operation to an increased amount of accelerator pedal operation after the lane deviation tendency is detected.
