A driving support system according to the present invention is provided
with an actuator for steering steered wheels of a vehicle and is used for
supporting driving of the vehicle by making use of steering by means of
the actuator. The driving support system has an image taking device for
taking a forward image ahead the vehicle, a determiner for determining a
controlled variable of the actuator on the basis of the forward image
acquired by the image taking device, a limiter for limiting the
controlled variable when a time change of the controlled variable of the
actuator determined by the determiner is off a predetermined range, and a
controller for controlling the actuator. The limiter sets a limit value
for limiting the time change of the controlled variable of the actuator
so that the limit value at a start (or at an end) of the driving support
control is different from the limit value in continuation of the driving
support control. In this configuration, the limit value to prevent a
driver from sensing discomfort is set at the start (or at the end) of the
driving support control, while the limit value suitable for the driving
support control is set during continuous execution of the driving support
control. This permits the system to achieve suppression of the discomfort
at the start (or at the end) of the support control and improvement in
performance of the support control in continuation of the control
together.
