    Abstract: A detection ECU detects left and right lane lines that define a driving lane from an image captured by an in-vehicle camera, by detecting a roadside as a side of a road where the own vehicle travels, from information of reflected waves received from a radar device. The detection ECU determines whether an estimated width indicating the width of a detected roadside and a detected lane line on a roadside side is narrower than the predetermined width. When the detection ECU determines that the estimated width is narrower than the predetermined width, it sets the predetermined position to be a position distant from the lane line on a roadside side in the estimated driving lane, than when the estimated width is determined not to be narrower than the predetermined width.

    Abstract: Control unit estimates a curvature of an own lane based on a marking detected from an image captured by an imaging device. The control unit performs a steering control of the own vehicle in accordance with the estimated curvature of the own lane. When determining that only single side marking in both left and right markings is present and the road slope changes, the control unit apply restriction to the steering control performed in accordance with the curvature of the own lane.

    Abstract: An object recognition apparatus learns an axis displacement amount of a reference axis of first object detecting means, combines and integrates, as information belonging to a same object, a plurality of pieces of information present within a first combining area and a second combining area, when a positional relationship between the first combining area and the second combining area meets a predetermined combinable condition. The first combining area is set as an area in which pieces of information related to the object acquired by the first object detecting means are combined. The second combining area is set as an area in which pieces of information related to the object acquired by second object detecting means are combined. The object recognition apparatus variably sets sizes of the first combining area and the second combining area based on a learning state of the axis displacement amount of the reference axis.

    Abstract: A detection ECU acquires the position of the preceding vehicle, based on image information captured by an imaging device, and generates the track of the preceding vehicle, based on the position of the preceding vehicle. The detection ECU then performs following travel control for following the preceding vehicle by calculating the amount of control for causing the own vehicle to travel along the track of the preceding vehicle, and by causing the own vehicle to travel, based on the calculated amount of control. During the following travel control, if the width of the preceding vehicle is narrower than a predetermined width, the detection ECU calculates the amount of control such that the curvature variation in the track of the own vehicle is smaller than in the case where the width of the preceding vehicle is not narrower than the predetermined width.
