Driving support apparatus of vehicle
First Claim
1. A driving support apparatus of a vehicle for supporting driving of the vehicle, the vehicle comprising a rudder angle varying device capable of changing a relative relation between a steering angle as a rotation angle of a steering input shaft and a rudder angle as a rotation angle of steered wheels,said driving support apparatus comprising:
- a following control device for controlling the rudder angle varying device such that the vehicle follows a target driving route;
a steering torque specifying device for specifying a steering torque applied to the steering input shaft;
a judging device for judging whether or not overriding performed by a driver takes place on the basis of the specified steering torque and a predetermined threshold value; and
a threshold value setting device for setting the threshold value in accordance with the relative relation between the steering angle and the rudder angle,said following control device stopping the vehicle following for the target driving route if it is judged that the overriding takes place.

Abstract
A driving support apparatus of a vehicle supports driving of the vehicle, the vehicle includes a rudder angle varying device capable of changing a relative relation between a steering angle and a rudder angle. The driving support apparatus includes a following control device for controlling the rudder angle varying device such that the vehicle follows a target driving route; a steering angle specifying device for specifying the steering angle; and a judging device for judging whether or not overriding performed by a driver takes place on the basis of the specified steering angle and a reference steering angle which is the steering angle in making the vehicle follow the target driving route. The following control device stops the vehicle following for the target driving route if it is judged that the overriding takes place.
