    Abstract: A road shape recognition apparatus is mounted in a vehicle. The road shape recognition apparatus acquires a road image, determines a road shape using the road image, recognizes the road shape based on the road image within a predetermined recognition range, and estimates the road shape outside of the recognition range based on the road shape within the recognition range. The road shape recognition apparatus estimates the road shape outside of the recognition range and within a first distance as a curved line of which a curvature change rate is constant, and the road shape farther than the first distance as a curved line of which a curvature is constant.

    Abstract: A lane departure prevention apparatus is configured to conduct a course correction in a lane departure avoidance direction when the controller 8 determines that there is a potential for a vehicle to depart from a driving lane. The controller 8 combines yaw control and deceleration control to conduct departure prevention control to avoid lane departure. The yaw control is not actuated if the opposite direction from the steering direction coincides with the lane departure direction (steps S10 and S11). Preferably, the controller 8 sets the timing of yaw moment and the deceleration of the vehicle on the basis of the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle, and performs braking control so that these settings are achieved (steps S7 to S9). Preferably, the controller 8 calculates the target yaw moment in the lane departure-avoidance direction on the basis of the running state of the vehicle, and calculates the deceleration amount by taking into account the driver braking operation amount.

    Abstract: The device according to the invention relates to a device for evaluating and/or influencing a vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior. For this purpose, the device has the following means: operator control means (10) with which the driver can generate predefined values (VG) for influencing at least one vehicle movement variable. Evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) with which the behavior of a vehicle movement variable with respect to a predefined value is evaluated, and/or with which the vehicle movement behavior is evaluated with respect to a predefined vehicle movement behavior as a function of vehicle movement variables and/or of variables which represent the surroundings of the vehicle. These evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) can be operated in at least two different operating states, only an information item (OHAx) relating to the behavior of the vehicle movement variable and/or relating to the vehicle movement behavior being made available to the driver in a first operating state as a function of the result of the evaluation which is carried out, and output signals (AGSx) for influencing a vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior independently of the driver being determined in a second operating state as a function of the result of the evaluation which is carried out. In addition, the device has influencing means (40) by means of which the driver can switch over the evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) between the at least two operating states. There is also provision of processing means (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22) with which actuation signals (ASSx) for actuating actuators (26, 28, 30) which are arranged in the vehicle are generated on the basis of the predefined values (VG) which are generated by the driver and/or, if the evaluation means (42, 44, 46, 48) are operated in the second operating state, on the basis of the output signals (AGSx). The actuation of the actuator (26, 28, 30) influences the vehicle movement variable and/or the vehicle movement behavior.
