Abstract
A collision avoidance assist apparatus executes an emergency steering control including processes to determine a target steering torque used to change a steering angle to avoid a collision of a vehicle with an obstacle so as not to move the vehicle out of a moving lane when the vehicle has a high probability of colliding with the obstacle, and the moving lane is a straight lane, and applies a steering torque corresponding to the determined target steering torque to a steering mechanism. The collision avoidance assist apparatus stops executing the emergency steering control when determining that the moving lane is a curved lane, based on only one of left and right lane markings at an avoidance side of the obstacle which is the left or the right side of the obstacle which the vehicle passes over while executing the emergency steering control.
