Claim 9:
10. A driving control apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information about a driving environment;
a route generator configured to:
determine whether a turning section is present ahead along a driving route of a host vehicle based on the acquired information about the driving environment;
determine a first turning radius with respect to a center of the host vehicle upon determining that a turning section is present;
determine, based on the first turning radius, a second turning radius required to prevent the host vehicle from deviating from a lane to an inside in a turning direction;
determine a third turning radius with respect to an inner rear wheel of the host vehicle in consideration of an overall width of the host vehicle; and
correct the driving route according to relative sizes of the second turning radius and the third turning radius;
generate a corrected route when the third turning radius is not larger than the second turning radius; and

a driving controller configured to control the host vehicle to travel along the driving route or to travel along the corrected route generated by correcting the driving route based on a determination by the route generator.
