Provided is an in-vehicle sensor system capable of maintaining an equivalent level of precision (accuracy) of data to be output before and after replacement of a surrounding sensor. An in-vehicle sensor system () includes: a surrounding sensor including: a casing () removably mounted to a bracket (BC) fixed to a vehicle body (B) of a vehicle; a detector which is supported by the casing (), and is configured to output detection data representing a situation within a predetermined detection range; and a first storage having stored therein first data corresponding to a deviation amount of an actual position and an actual posture of the detector with respect to the casing () from a predetermined normal design position and a predetermined normal design posture of the detector with respect to the casing (); a second storage which is provided separately from the surrounding sensor and is fixed to the vehicle body (B), and is configured to store second data corresponding to a deviation amount of an actual position and an actual posture of the casing () with respect to the vehicle body (B) from a predetermined normal design position and a predetermined normal design posture of the casing () with respect to the vehicle body (B); and a corrector which is provided on an inner side or an outer side of the casing (), and is configured to correct, when the second data is stored in the second storage, the detection data output from the detector based on the first data and the second data, to thereby generate and output data expected to be output by the detector when it is assumed that the detector is fixed at the normal design position and in the normal design posture.

In-vehicle sensor system, and data generation method for in-vehicle sensor system

A lane departure prevention apparatus includes a driving support ECU configured to perform a lane departure prevention control. The driving support ECU performs the lane departure prevention control with vibrating a steering wheel when determining that a control performing condition becomes satisfied and a traveling lane is straight. The control performing condition becomes satisfied when a vehicle has a high probability of departing from the traveling lane. The driving support ECU performs the lane departure control without vibrating the steering wheel at least in a case where the vehicle has a high probability of departing from the traveling lane toward an outer side of the curved lane.
