Abstract
A driving support apparatus is provided to improve accuracy of the driving support such as a notification to the driver and the vehicle control. In the apparatus, a common parameter indicating a location of a lane boundary is calculated for the vehicle control, based on an actual boundary line where a location of the lane boundary line existing at both sides of the vehicle is actually measured. A common error is defined as an error between the location of an estimated boundary indicated by the common parameter and a location of the actual boundary line. In the case where the common error is larger than or equal to a common threshold in which an amount of the common error is set in advance, the apparatus determines that the travelling road where the vehicle travels is branched and stops the vehicle control using the common parameter.
