Abstract
A collision avoidance assist apparatus calculates a lane marking recognition reliability level and execute an emergency steering control. The emergency steering control includes processes to determine a target steering torque to avoid a collision of a vehicle with an obstacle when determining that the vehicle has a high probability of colliding with the obstacle, a moving lane defined by the left and right lane markings is a straight lane, and the calculated lane marking recognition reliability level is equal to or higher than a first threshold reliability level, and apply a steering torque corresponding to the target steering torque to a steering mechanism. The collision avoidance assist apparatus stops executing the emergency steering control when the lane marking recognition reliability level becomes lower than a second threshold reliability level set to a value lower than the first threshold reliability level.
