A curvature correcting circuit corrects a curvature of a lane separation line input thereto based on the maximum curvature. A control unit controls steering of the own vehicle based on the lane separation line having a corrected curvature. As a result, vehicle steering can be automatically controlled so as to prevent the own vehicle while traveling from departing from a driving lane.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: July 16, 2024Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Takuya Taniguchi, Noritaka Kokido, Koji Iida
