Abstract Translated from Japanese (57)【要約】 【目的】 自車の進行方向の推定が不安定な状態のとき に進行路上の先行車の検出を適切に行う。 【構成】 自車の前方に存在する物体を検出する物体検 出手段7と、自車が走行すべき第1進行路を推定する第 1進行路推定手段22と、上記物体検出手段により検出 された上記第1進行路上に存在する先行車の中から自車 の対象車となる先行車(例えば、自車に最も近い先行 車)を識別する先行車識別手段23と、少なくとも上記 先行車が第1進行路から外れたときこの先行車に基づい て自車の第2進行路を推定する第2進行路推定手段24 と、を有し、上記先行車識別手段は、上記先行車が第1 進行路から外れたときこの第1進行路上に存在する先行 車と上記第2進行路上に存在する先行車の中から自車の 対象車となる先行車を識別するように設けられている。 (57) [Summary] [Purpose] When the estimation of the traveling direction of the vehicle is unstable, the preceding vehicle on the traveling road is properly detected. [Structure] An object detecting means 7 for detecting an object existing in front of the own vehicle, a first traveling road estimating means 22 for estimating a first traveling road on which the own vehicle should travel, and an object detecting means for detecting the first traveling road. The preceding vehicle identifying means 23 for identifying a preceding vehicle which is a target vehicle of the own vehicle (for example, a preceding vehicle closest to the own vehicle) among the preceding vehicles existing on the first traveling path, and at least the preceding vehicle is the first vehicle. When the vehicle deviates from the traveling road, the second traveling road estimating means 24 estimates the second traveling road of the own vehicle based on the preceding vehicle. And, the preceding vehicle identification means is configured such that the preceding vehicle is the first When the vehicle deviates from the traveling road, the preceding vehicle which is the subject vehicle of the own vehicle is discriminated from the preceding vehicles existing on the first traveling road and the preceding vehicles existing on the second traveling road.
