Abstract: A controller detects partitioning lines OL and BL of a road and a road edge E based on an image taken by a camera, generates a pair of left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR that extend from the side to the front of a vehicle along the partitioning lines OL and BL, controls the steering so the vehicle travels between the left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR, moves the left virtual line ILL to a position in proximity to the road edge E and fixes the left virtual line ILL to this position, and then, moves the right virtual line ILR to a position separated from the left virtual line ILL by the width of the vehicle and fixes the right virtual line ILR to this position, and controls brakes to stop the vehicle after fixing the left and right virtual lines ILL and ILR.
