The determiner sets a size of the road boundary determination area on the basis of a predetermined condition.

Surroundings recognition device, and surroundings recognition method

A first possible space, for which a lane change of the vehicle is possible, is specified from an inter-vehicle distance between the preceding other vehicle and the nearby vehicle, a speed of the preceding other vehicle, and a speed of the nearby vehicle. A second possible space, for which the lane change of the vehicle is possible, is specified from an inter-vehicle distance between the nearby vehicle and the following other vehicle, the speed of the nearby vehicle, and a speed of the following other vehicle. The control unit controls the traveling of the vehicle to make the lane change to the adjacent lane based on a result of the evaluation of the first possible space and the second possible space.

Traveling control apparatus, traveling control method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program for controlling traveling of a vehicle

There is provided a travel control apparatus. A control unit controls a position of the self-vehicle in a width direction so as to ensure a first predetermined interval between the self-vehicle and the other vehicle and to ensure a second predetermined interval between the self-vehicle and the boundary of the first lane. In a case in which both the first predetermined interval and the second predetermined interval cannot be ensured, the control unit controls the position of the self-vehicle in the width direction to preferentially ensure the first predetermined interval when the other vehicle has crossed a first boundary between the first lane and the second lane and to preferentially ensure the second predetermined interval when the other vehicle has not crossed the first boundary.
