    Abstract: It is an object to provide a lane departure warning device capable of generating almost no false warning if a driver performs an avoiding operation of a lane departure. The lane departure warning device estimates the steering amount of the own vehicle toward the center of the lane or the amount correlating with this steering amount based on the parameter representing the vehicle behavior such as the steering angle, the yaw rate and the lateral G, thereby detecting the state of the vehicle steering toward the center of the lane when a driver is performing an avoiding operation to avoid the lane departure (quick steering), and determining whether or not the possibility of the vehicle's departure from the lane is high without using the time TLC and its threshold value Ts, but only based on the determination whether or not the distance D1 or D2 from the outer edge of the front wheel to the marking line is less than the threshold value Ds if the driver performs the avoiding operation to avoid the lane departure (quick steering).

    Abstract: A vehicle is guided to a lane that the vehicle should run, even if map data do not include lane information of a tollgate.A navigation processing part 100 makes a vehicle running path calculation part 112 calculate a running path of the vehicle from a point of a prescribed distance from the tollgate until an ETC receipt signal receiving part 114 receives an ETC receipt signal. Then, the navigation processing part 100 calculates an approximate position of an ETC lane on the basis of the running path, and accumulates the calculated approximate position in a storage unit. Further, when the vehicle approaches to the tollgate within a prescribed distance from the tollgate, the navigation processing part 100 obtains the approximate position of the ETC lane of the tollgate from the storage unit, and displays the approximate position through a display processing part 106, to guide the user to the ETC lane.
