Abstract:
A traveling path generation apparatus includes an information acquisition section, a target recognition section, and a path generation section. The path generation section generates, on the basis of road line shape information acquired by the information acquisition section, an expected traveling path on which an object vehicle is expected to travel along an object lane by correcting a lane traveling path such that a spacing in a lane width direction with respect to a close target recognized by the target recognition section becomes equal to or larger than a safe spacing.

Claim (Index 2):
The traveling path generation apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a road determination section configured to determine, on the basis of the road line shape information acquired by the information acquisition section, whether there are one or more curve paths within a path range set in advance in a traveling direction from a current position of the object vehicle on the lane traveling path, each of the curve paths being a curved line path defined by a radius of curvature, wherein\n the path generation section includes: a first correction section configured to set, as cornering lines, in response to the road determination section determining that there are one or more curve paths, parts of the expected traveling path corresponding to each of the curve paths, and correct the lane traveling path such that a radius of curvature of each of the cornering lines exceeds a radius of curvature of the corresponding curve path; and a second correction section configured to set, as a first correction path, the lane traveling path corrected by the first correction section, and further correct the first correction path such that a spacing in the lane width direction with respect to the close target recognized by the target recognition section becomes equal to or larger than the safe spacing.
