Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus performs an alert notification of alerting an operator of at least one of an own vehicle and an oncoming vehicle of a collision probability. The vehicle control apparatus performs the alert notification when a predicted lane departure period of time is equal to or longer than a second threshold period of time at a point of time when a predicted collision period of time becomes shorter than a first threshold period of time, and performs the alert notification when the predicted lane departure period of time becomes shorter than a third threshold period of time shorter than the second threshold period of time in case that the predicted lane departure period of time is shorter than the second threshold period of time at a point of time when the predicted collision period of time becomes shorter than the first threshold period of time.
