Abstract
On a basis of a relative position of an obstacle, a size of the obstacle in an own vehiclewidth direction and a width of the own vehicle, a maximum amount Dof movement of the own vehiclein the vehicle width direction as required to avoid the obstacleis calculated. A point displaced over the maximum amount of movement toward a side of the adjacent lane from the relative position of the obstacleis determined as an avoiding point. If a distance d between the avoiding pointand the adjacent lane is greater than the width Wm of the own vehicle, an avoiding path is generated for allowing the own vehicleto pass the avoiding point
