Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

When a solid object is recognized in the direction of movement of an own vehicle, in a system which carries out driving support of a vehicle, turning control of the own vehicle is performed by a support control unit in order to avoid a collision with the solid object. Then, the turning control by the support control unit is stopped by a turning control stop unit, in cases where a correlation between a vehicle state related to turning of the own vehicle and a value of a predetermined parameter related to the turning control does not belong to a range of normal state set in advance, after the turning control by the support control unit has been started. This stops excessive steering of a steering resulting from a low friction of a traveling road surface, so that a strange or uncomfortable feeling of a driver can be eliminated.
