ABSTRACT:
The avoidance of an obstacle by a vehicle is enhanced by effective balancing an automatic braking operation and a turnability increasing control operation assisting in a steering operation of the vehicle whereby the obstacle avoiding capability is enhanced to the maximum. If a vehicle is being automatically controlled and the steering operation is carried out by the driver and if it is determined an obstacle can be avoided by a turnability increasing control operation, and if an avoiding space exists in a direction of turning of the vehicle, the turnability increasing control operation is carried out to perform the avoidance of the obstacle by the steering operation. If no avoiding space exists in the direction of turning of the vehicle, the avoidance of the obstacle by the steering operation is not performed, and a stability increasing control operation is carried out to effectively perform the avoidance of the obstacle by the automatic braking operation.
