Patent ID: 6970787

Claim:
An automotive lane deviation avoidance system comprising: a control unit that executes a host vehicle's lane deviation control that a change in vehicle dynamic behavior occurs in a direction that avoids a host vehicle from deviating from a driving lane when there is an increased tendency of the host vehicle's lane deviation from the driving lane; and the control unit comprising: (i) a lane-deviation decision section that determines the presence or absence of the increased tendency of the host vehicle's lane deviation from the driving lane; and (ii) a lane-deviation avoidance section that prevents the host vehicle from deviating from the driving lane by correcting the host vehicle's course in the direction that avoids the host vehicle's lane deviation in the presence of the increased tendency of the host vehicle's lane deviation from the driving lane, the lane-deviation avoidance section calculating a host vehicle's course correction value needed to avoid the host vehicle's lane deviation from the driving lane and additionally compensating for the host vehicle's course correction value based on a throttle opening of the host vehicle.
