TRAVELING CONTROL APPARATUS

A traveling control apparatus that is to be applied to a first vehicle, and includes an obstacle detector, first and second street parking determination processors, first and second target lateral position determination processors, and a traveling control processor. The first and second street parking determination processors each perform, when the obstacle is detected, a determination as to whether the obstacle is a second vehicle that is street-parked. The first and second target lateral position determination processors each perform, when the obstacle is the second vehicle having a high possibility of being street-parked, a determination of corresponding one of first and second target lateral positions of the first vehicle at a time when the first vehicle passes the second vehicle. The traveling control processor executes the traveling control based on results of the determinations performed by the first and second target lateral position determination processors.
