Abstract
A lane departure control system is provided which works to control a lane departure of a vehicle. When the vehicle is expected to unintentionally leave a lane of a road, the system steers the vehicle toward the center of the lane at a first yaw rate. Afterwards, when the vehicle is determined to be traveling toward a virtual line extending parallel to the boundary line, the system directs the vehicle parallel to the virtual line at a second yaw rate. The system keeps an absolute value of the first yaw rate below a first upper limit and also keeps an absolute value of the second yaw rate below a second upper limit that is less than the first upper limit. This provides an improved comfortable ride to a driver of the vehicle when the vehicle is directed parallel to the virtual line.
