VEHICLE TRAVEL CONTROL APPARATUS

A vehicle travel control apparatus (1) is provided which includes: an automatic brake control part (101) configured to perform an automatic brake control that automatically applies a brake force to a host vehicle when there is a probability of collision with an obstacle in front of the host vehicle; and a drive force recovery control part (102) configured to increase, in response to an accelerator operation by a driver, a target drive force to a demand drive force from the driver by a predetermined increase amount per unit time after having performed the automatic brake control. The drive force recovery control part (102) determines the predetermined increase amount per unit time such that the predetermined increase amount per unit time becomes greater as the brake force applied by the automatic brake control part (101) during the automatic brake control is smaller.
