- the lane change control function presents the choices of “follow” and “change over lane” as inquiry information along with the message “What do you do with the preceding vehicle?” “If the selection button is not pressed within seconds, it will be selected automatically.” In this case, if the driver does not select one of the options within a certain period, the lane change control function automatically selects a predetermined default option between “Follow” and “Change lane and overtake”. can do.
- the default option may be a unique option or an option that can be variably set. For example, the lane change control function sets “follow” as the default option when the target range is small for a certain period of time until the default option is selected.
- the configuration may be such that “change lane and overtake” is set as a default option.
- the lane change control function may be configured to set, as a default option, an option that is frequently selected by the driver based on a past history in which the driver has selected an option. In this case as well, if the driver selects “change lane and overtake” within a certain time, the process proceeds to step S116, and if “follow” is selected within a certain time, the process returns to step S101. .
- the lane change control function cancels the lane change with a message such as "Changing the lane of the preceding vehicle and overtaking” or "Press the cancel button below if you want to cancel the lane change".
- Inquiry information including a “cancel” button can be notified to the driver via the notification device 150.
- step S114 it is treated in step S115 that the driver has permitted the lane change, and the process proceeds to step S117.
- step S117 lane change control is started. When the driver presses the “Cancel” button, the lane change control is canceled and the process returns to Step S101.

It is good. For example, in addition to the message “Timed out but continue lane change?”, “Do not continue” and “Continue” choices, “If the selection button is not pressed within XX seconds The message “automatically selected” can be included in the inquiry information to inform the driver.
- the answer time and the default option may be a unique time or option, or may be variably set. For example, as an example of variably setting the answer time and the default option, when the target range is small, the answer time is shortened, or “do not continue” is set as the default option. it can.
- the response time can be shortened, and an option with a large number of times the driver has selected can be set as a default option. If the “continue” option is selected, the time limit Z is extended, and then the process returns to step S118. If the “do not continue” option is selected, the lane change control is performed in step S126. Is terminated.
- the lane change control function can automatically continue the lane change and notify the driver of the method of canceling the lane change. For example, the lane change control function cancels the lane change with a message such as "Timed out but continue lane change" or "If you want to cancel lane change, please press the cancel button below.”
- the notification information including the “cancel” button for performing the notification can be notified to the driver via the notification device 150. In this case, if the “cancel” button is not pressed, after the time limit Z is extended, the process returns to step S118. On the other hand, if the “cancel” button is pressed, the lane change control is terminated in step S126.
- the time limit Z is extended within a time period during which the lane change can be continued.
- the traveling scene of the host vehicle is a “scene close to the merging point”, it is 10 seconds to the merging point, and the time limit Z is 7 seconds
- the lane change control function is the time limit Z 7 If it exceeds 2 seconds, the time limit Z can be extended to 9 seconds, for example, and the lane change can be continued. In this case, the lane change control is ended when the extended time limit Z (9 seconds) is exceeded.
- the lane change control is canceled, so that the time limit Z has elapsed since the start of the lane change control.
- the driver's intention to change the lane changes the lane change is done after the driver no longer wants the lane change, or the lane change is done when the driver forgets It is possible to effectively prevent the driver from feeling uncomfortable.
- step S123 if it is determined that there is no space corresponding to the required range in the target range of the adjacent lane after the predetermined time T2, the process proceeds to step S128.
- step S112 when the lane change control is started, there is a space corresponding to the required range in the target range of the adjacent lane, but after the start of the lane change control, it corresponds to the required range in the target range of the adjacent lane. If there is no more space, the process proceeds to step S128.

In such a case, the lane change can be made quickly and appropriately.
- the travel control apparatus 100 according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as the travel control apparatus 100 of the first embodiment, and is the same as the first embodiment except that it operates as described below. Specifically, in the second embodiment, the travel control apparatus 100 performs a lane change control process shown in FIG. 21 instead of the lane change control process shown in FIG.
- step S201 lane change request control for slowly bringing the host vehicle close to the target lane change position is started by the lane change control function.
- this lane change request control the driver of another vehicle entering the target range of the adjacent lane is made to know that the host vehicle is changing the lane by slowly approaching the host vehicle to the target position of the lane change. This is a control for changing the lane of the host vehicle by having a lane change space including the target position for change.
- the lane change control function moves the host vehicle at a slower speed in the width direction than when performing a normal lane change.
- the lane change control function can move the host vehicle slowly toward the target position for lane change by moving the host vehicle in the width direction at half the speed compared to the case of changing the lane.
- the lane change control function can change the moving speed of the vehicle in the width direction in consideration of the degree to which the corrected required range deviates from the target range after the predetermined time T2. For example, in the lane change control function, when the degree of deviation from the target range after the predetermined time T2 is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, the lane change control function is greater in the width direction than when the degree is less than the predetermined value. The moving speed of the host vehicle can be changed to a slower speed. When the degree of deviation of the required range after the correction from the target range after the predetermined time T2 is large, there is a high possibility that the other vehicle will enter the target position for changing the lane of the own vehicle.
- the driver tends to feel uneasy when the vehicle is brought close to the target position for lane change. Therefore, the driver's anxiety about other vehicles can be reduced by slowing the moving speed of the own vehicle in the width direction (by bringing the own vehicle closer to the target position for lane change).
- the lane change control function can also change the moving speed of the host vehicle in the width direction according to the positional relationship between the target lane mark detected in step S128 and the host vehicle. For example, as shown in FIG. 20C, the lane change control function can further reduce the moving speed of the host vehicle in the width direction if the center line of the host vehicle straddles the lane mark. This reduces the driver's anxiety even when the host vehicle and the other vehicle approach each other by moving the host vehicle to the target position for lane change while the host vehicle and the other vehicle are approaching. Can do.
- the lane change control function sets the moving speed to “0” when the center line of the own vehicle straddles the target lane mark, that is, maintains the position in the width direction of the own vehicle without changing (standby) ). In this case, the driver's anxiety can be reduced because the host vehicle does not approach another vehicle.
- step S206 whether or not the distance between the host vehicle and the other vehicle has become equal to or less than a predetermined distance as a result of performing the lane change request control for slowly approaching the host vehicle to the adjacent lane in step S201 by the lane change control function. Judgment is made.
- the distance between the host vehicle and the other vehicle may be a linear distance or a distance in the width direction. If the distance between the host vehicle and the other vehicle is greater than the predetermined distance, the process proceeds to step S207, and the lane change control function determines whether the host vehicle has reached the target position for lane change. If the lane change target position has not been reached, the process returns to step S202, and the lane change request control is continued. If the host vehicle has reached the target position for lane change, the process proceeds to step S126, and the lane change control is terminated.
- step S208 the lane change request control started in step S201 is canceled by the lane change control function, and then the process proceeds to step S126, where the lane change control is released. Even if you bring your vehicle close to the target position for lane change, some drivers of other vehicles do not always free up the space required to change lanes. By canceling the change request control, the host vehicle can travel safely.
- the lane change control function can variably set the predetermined distance according to the “necessity of lane change” in the scene where the host vehicle travels.
- the lane change control function is configured such that when the “necessity of lane change” in the travel scene of the host vehicle is high (when the necessity level is equal to or greater than a predetermined value), The predetermined distance can be shortened compared to a case where “is low” (when the degree of necessity is less than a predetermined value). This makes it possible to bring the vehicle closer to the target position for lane change in a driving scene with a high degree of “need to change lanes”. This makes it easy to change lanes to adjacent lanes.
- the lane change request control for slowly bringing the host vehicle close to the target position for the lane change Is done.
- Space may be available, and lane changes may be made appropriately.
- the configuration in which the target range of the adjacent lane at the timing when the host vehicle completes the lane change is compared with the required range is exemplified, but the configuration is not limited to this configuration. It can also be set as the structure which compares this object range with a request
- the traveling scene of the host vehicle corresponds to the plurality of traveling scenes shown in FIG. 2

- the “lane change direction” in each driving scene is specified as the right direction and the left direction, and if there are more driving scenes in which the “lane changing direction” is the right direction, the lane change is performed in the right direction.
- the configuration may be such that the lane change is performed in the left direction.
- the configuration in which the time limit Z is stored in advance in the table for each traveling scene is illustrated, but is not limited to this configuration, for example, the table illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the time limit Z can be calculated based on the lane change necessity stored in In this case, it can be set as the structure which lengthens the time limit Z, so that the necessity of a lane change is high. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which memorize
- a range in an adjacent lane where no obstacle exists is detected as a target range
- a range in an adjacent lane where no obstacle exists is also a target.
- the configuration for detecting the range is illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this configuration.

- the range in the adjacent adjacent lane where no obstacle exists It is good also as a structure which detects separately the target range in an adjacent lane, and the target range in an adjacent adjacent lane by detecting as a 2nd target range.
- the present invention is not limited to this configuration.
- the distance in the width direction between the target lane mark and the host vehicle is less than a predetermined distance (for example, When the host vehicle travels in the vicinity of the target lane mark), the travel position of the host vehicle in the width direction can be maintained without being changed.
- the present invention is not limited to this configuration.
- the travel position of the host vehicle in the width direction may be set as the target position for lane change.
- the speed at which the target range of the adjacent lane becomes small after the start of the lane change when the space corresponding to the required range cannot be detected in the target range of the adjacent lane after the start of the lane change, the speed at which the target range of the adjacent lane becomes small after the start of the lane change.
- the control method may be determined so that the lane change is canceled rather than the lane change being continued. It can. Thereby, according to the magnitude
- the configuration in which the host vehicle is slowly brought close to the target position for lane change is exemplified as the lane change request control.
- the present invention is not limited to this configuration. It is good also as a structure which brings a vehicle close to an adjacent lane slowly. In this case as well, the driver of the adjacent vehicle can be informed of the intention of changing the lane of the own vehicle, so that a space necessary for changing the lane may be ensured.
