Abstract

A vehicle control apparatus determines a travelling region in which the vehicle is travelling among a plurality of regions into which an area is divided by a predetermined boundary line. When an obtained position which is determined based on a positioning signal from a positioning satellite is not included in a boundary zone, the apparatus determines that the travelling region is a region in which the obtained position is included. The boundary zone is a belt-like zone including the boundary line. Meanwhile, when the obtained position is not included in the boundary zone, the apparatus determines the travelling region based on a piece of information included in an image of an area in front of the vehicle. Each piece of the information is associated with one of the regions having a part overlapping the boundary zone.
