Abstract:
1. A vehicle drive assist system comprising: traveling-lane information detecting unit configured to detect information about a forward traveling lane; preceding-vehicle information detecting unit configured to detect information about a preceding vehicle; first-target-position setting unit configured to set a target position on a first vehicle traveling path based on the information about the forward traveling lane as a first target position; second-target-position setting unit configured to set a target position on a second vehicle traveling path based on the information about the preceding vehicle as a second target position; third-target-position setting unit configured to set a correction amount in accordance with a distance difference in a front-rear direction between the second target position and the first target position when the second target position is set farther than the first target position, and configured to set a third target position by performing correction by the correction amount so that the first target position becomes closer to the second vehicle traveling path; and steering-control-amount calculation unit configured to calculate a steering control amount on the basis of the third target position.
