VEHICLE LATERAL CONTROL SYSTEM HAVING LANE MODEL WITH MODULATION WEIGHTING AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A vehicle lateral control system having a lane model with modulation weighting for controlling a vehicle includes a camera, an image processing device, a controller and a steering device. The camera is configured to capture a front image of the vehicle to generate a front image dataset. The front image dataset is analyzed by the image processing device to obtain a plurality of lane markers, and the image processing device establishes a lane fitting curve according to the lane markers and a target weighting. The controller has a plurality of vehicle dynamic parameters and a target distance. The target weighting is changeable according to the target distance. The controller generates a steering control weighting according to the lane fitting curve and the vehicle dynamic parameters. The steering device is configured to control a turning direction of the vehicle according to the steering control weighting.
