Abstract
A driving assistance ECU acquires, as a lateral margin distance, a larger distance out of a distance of a space formed between an object and a left lane marking in a track width direction and a distance of a space formed between the object and a right side lane marking in the track width direction when the object is present in front of the host vehicle. The ECU determines whether the probability that a host vehicle deviates from a track when the host vehicle passes by a side of the object is high, based on the lateral margin distance, and moves a deviation regulation line on a side on which the host vehicle is expected to cross out of a left side deviation regulation line and a right side deviation regulation line to an outside of the track by a predetermined offset distance when the probability is high.
