Abstract
Disclosed is an automatic travelling apparatus which is capable of taking an image of an area ahead of a vehicle in its running direction by an image pick-up device fixed to the vehicle; determining, by processing the taken image, a permissible travel path in a X-Y coordinates having the Y-Axis corresponding to the axis of the vehicle's running direction; setting a target course in the determined permissible travel path; estimating a steering amount necessary for permitting the vehicle to follow the target course on the basis of the detected running condition of the vehicle; and steering the vehicle to follow the target course with reference to the steering amount; and also is capable of determining a side-slip angle of the vehicle and turning any one of patterns--image, permissible travel path and the target course--by the determined side-slip angle to coincide the actual running direction of the vehicle with the direction of the Y-axis.
