Abstract:
A boundary line recognition apparatus recognizes a boundary line that demarcates a driving lane in which an own vehicle is driving and includes a candidate detecting unit, a dowel bar determining unit, and a boundary line recognizing unit. The candidate detecting unit detects line types of boundary line candidates that are candidates for the boundary line and a quantity of boundary line candidates of the same line type, based on detection data of the boundary line candidates acquired from a detecting unit that detects the boundary line candidates. The dowel bar determining unit determines whether or not the boundary line candidates are formed by dowel bars embedded in a road, based on the line type and quantity detected by the candidate detecting unit. The boundary line recognizing unit eliminates the boundary line candidates that are determined to be formed by the dowel bars and recognizes the boundary line.

Claim (Index 2):
The boundary line recognition apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the dowel bar determining unit (S 402 , S 406 , S 422 , S 424 ) determines that the boundary line candidates are formed by the dowel bars when the candidate detecting unit detects that a plurality of adjacent boundary line candidates are dashed lines.
