Abstract
A starting control device is provided to detect a preceding vehicle that is stopped in front of a host vehicle, acquire a relative speed and an inter-vehicular distance between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle, detect a starting request input by the driver of the host vehicle, and detects the number of times the starting request has been detected after the host vehicle has stopped. Then, the starting control device causes the host vehicle to start following a preceding vehicle when a standby period, which is the period from when the starting request is detected to when at least one of the relative speed and the inter-vehicular distance satisfies a preset start condition, is shorter than a start permission period that is set in advance.
