DRIVING CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE

[Problem to be Solved] To suppress excessive override in an automated lane keeping system when an EM function is activated due to approach of an oncoming vehicle. [0002] [Solution] In a driving control apparatus for a vehicle having an in-lane automated driving function that performs in-lane automated driving for maintaining a set speed if no other vehicle is present ahead in the lane of the vehicle and maintaining a set inter-vehicle distance if another vehicle is present ahead, an EM function that executes an emergency avoidance control, including activation of emergency braking, if a collision with an obstacle present ahead in the lane of the vehicle is predicted, and an override function that, if there is a control intervention equal to or greater than a prescribed threshold value by a driver while the in-lane automated driving function or the EM function is active, stops the function which is active and transfers control to the driver, an environmental condition estimating part 11 is configured to determine whether the obstacle present ahead in the lane of the vehicle is an oncoming vehicle traveling in an opposite direction along a target path, and the override function is configured such that a first threshold value is set as the prescribed threshold value while the in-lane automated driving function is active and a second threshold value is set as the prescribed threshold value when the EM function is activated and the oncoming vehicle is detected, the second threshold value being greater than the first threshold value.
