Abstract:
A vehicle driving assistance apparatus has an image capturing system capturing a road on which the vehicle travels, a white line type recognition section recognizing a type of a white line that defines a current traffic lane on which the vehicle is travelling on the basis of an image captured by the image capturing system, a white line type storage section storing the white line type recognized by the white line type recognition section, a white line type estimation section and a vehicle control system. When the white line type cannot be recognized by the white line type recognition section, the white line type estimation section estimates the white line type from white line types stored in the white line type storage section. The vehicle control system executes a vehicle control on the basis of the white line type estimated by the white line type estimation section.
