The follow-up travel support device includes a processor configured to detect a surrounding vehicle around a host vehicle, and set a target vehicle speed of the host vehicle. The processor is configured to set the target vehicle speed to a speed different from a set speed of the host vehicle until a partner vehicle that performs a follow-up travel in which a following vehicle follows a preceding vehicle together with the host vehicle is detected as the surrounding vehicle.

Follow-up travel support device, follow-up travel support method and non transitory recording medium

A vehicle control system includes an imaging device configured to capture an image of an outside of a host vehicle to generate an image and a control device. The control device is configured to determine a road type of a road on which the host vehicle is traveling by recognizing a specific object in the image, and take a determination measure for determining the road type of the road on which the host vehicle is traveling when the specific object cannot be recognized.

Determining road types with imaging and non-imaging determination measures

A platoon traveling system includes a control device that controls traveling of an own vehicle in adaptive cruise control that adjusts a vehicle speed of the own vehicle in such a manner that following a preceding vehicle at a certain interval is performed. Further, when a preceding vehicle having a high wind-shielding effect is detected on a front side of the own vehicle by a detection device provided in the own vehicle while the own vehicle is traveling alone in the adaptive cruise control, and a vehicle speed of the preceding vehicle is higher than an ACC set vehicle speed set as a vehicle speed in the adaptive cruise control of the own vehicle, the control device proposes to increase the ACC set vehicle speed by a predetermined increase range to a passenger of the own vehicle by using a proposal device provided in the own vehicle.
