TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE AND TRAVEL CONTROL METHOD

A travel control device that prevents malfunctioning of an intersection AEB system is provided. The travel control device includes a sensor that detects the front side, and a control unit that controls a brake, based on information from the sensor. When determining that a host vehicle is going to traverse an intersection and make a turn, the control unit carries out control for controlling the brake when the speed of an oncoming vehicle is equal to or higher than a given threshold. When determining that the oncoming vehicle detected by the sensor is going to traverse the intersection and make a turn, the control unit increases the threshold.
