A traveling track determination device includes an ECU. The ECU calculates a second course target point, and determines a future traveling track for the vehicle at right/left turn using a first straight line that extends from the vehicle through an intersection in a forward direction, a second straight line that extends along a second course through the second course target point and intersects with the first straight line in the intersection, and a curved track configured of a quadratic B&#xe9;zier curve.

Traveling track determination processing and automated drive device

An ECU of an automated drive device determines a future traveling track for a vehicle using a first straight line that extends in a forward direction of the vehicle, a second straight line that extends along a second course, and a curved track that extends between a first predetermined point on the first straight line and a second predetermined point on the second straight line. After determination of the future traveling track, the vehicle turns to the right in an intersection during actual traveling on the traveling track, if a median strip is present in a course of the vehicle, a changed track is calculated so as to avoid interference of the vehicle with the median strip.
