An apparatus for warning deviation from a lane has a deviation evaluation
ECU 1. The deviation evaluation ECU 1 has a deviation evaluator 14 for
performing an evaluation on a deviation by comparing a future position of
a host vehicle with a lane future position. Before this deviation
evaluation, a mask processor 13 determines whether a yaw angle of the
host vehicle and a lateral position of the vehicle relative to a driving
lane exceed their respective thresholds preliminarily determined. When
either one or the both are not more than the thresholds, the mask
processor 13 performs a mask process, without performing the deviation
evaluation. A deviation evaluator 14 performs the deviation evaluation
when the yaw angle and the lateral position relative to the driving lane
both exceed their respective thresholds.
