VEHICLE TRAVEL CONTROL APPARATUS

A vehicle travel control apparatus configured to control a traveling operation of a vehicle including an actuator for traveling, including a first sensor mounted on the vehicle to capture an image of a division line in a traveling direction of the vehicle or measure the division line, a second sensor mounted on the vehicle to detect a movement of a preceding vehicle, and an electronic control unit including a microprocessor and a memory connected to the microprocessor. The microprocessor is configured to perform controlling the actuator based on a position information of the division line obtained by the first sensor and a reliability with respect to the position information of the division line obtained by the first sensor, and the controlling including decreasing the reliability when a predetermined movement of the preceding vehicle to intersect the division line is detected by the second sensor.
