A lane centering system for use in a vehicle driving in a lane on a road includes a lane delimiter detection device having a camera with a field of view that encompasses the road ahead of the vehicle. Based on processing of captured image data, a controller determines the positions of left and right lane delimiters on the road. The controller is operable to establish a target path for the vehicle that maintains the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle generally centered between the left lane delimiter and the right lane delimiter. The controller is automatically activated to control steering the vehicle along the target path when the speed of the vehicle is at or above a first speed level. When having activated control of steering, the controller automatically deactivates control of steering when the speed of the vehicle falls to at or below a second speed level.

A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller, responsive to processing by the processor of captured image data, detects colored lane markings on the road ahead of the vehicle. 4. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller establishes the target path based in part on whether the distance between the lane delimiters is outside of a selected range. 5. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller models detected lane delimiters as third order polynomial equations. 6. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein when one of the left lane delimiter and the right lane delimiter ends while the other of the left lane delimiter and the right lane delimiter does not end, the lane centering system remains operational for up to 3 seconds. 7. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lane centering system remains operational for up to 3 seconds when driving past an off-ramp on the road being travelled. 8. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lane centering system is disabled when a driver of the vehicle applies the brakes of the vehicle. 9. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lane centering system is disabled when a braking event of a collision mitigation system of the vehicle is taking place. 10. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the lane centering system is disabled when a driver assistance system of the vehicle that determines a collision may occur has been triggered in order to permit maneuvering of the vehicle to avoid a collision without interference from the lane centering system. 11. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 10, wherein the driver assistance system of the vehicle comprises an adaptive cruise control system. 12. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller is operable to establish a safe zone having a left safe zone delimiter based on the determined position of the left lane delimiter and a right safe zone delimiter based on the determined position of the right lane delimiter. 13. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 12, wherein the controller is operable to progressively reduce the width of the safe zone the longer that the vehicle remains within the safe zone. 14. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the camera comprises a component of a driver assistance system of the vehicle, the driver assistance system comprising an adaptive cruise control system. 15. A lane centering system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the steering system includes a steering column, and a torque is supplied to the steering column based on processing of captured image data by the processor. 16.
