Abstract
A lane departure control apparatus for a vehicle includes a lane departure control calculator, a lane information acquiring unit, and a steering angle detector. The lane departure control calculator is configured to determine whether the vehicle is to depart from a current lane in accordance with a preset lane departure control pattern. The lane departure control calculator includes an estimated-lateral-acceleration calculator, an actual-lateral-acceleration calculator, a lane-based-lateral-acceleration calculator, a storage, and a control pattern generator. The control pattern generator is configured to compare a lane-based lateral acceleration calculated by the lane-based-lateral-acceleration calculator and a limit stored in the storage and to generate a new lane departure control pattern in a case where the lane-based lateral acceleration is over the limit. The control pattern generator generates the new lane departure control pattern by correcting the lane-based lateral acceleration in accordance with an excess of the lane-based lateral acceleration over the limit.
