Abstract
A traveling control system capable of reducing uneasiness felt by an occupant in automatic traveling control of a vehicle includes an on-vehicle control device which performs traveling control on the vehicle, and a display device that is connected to the on-vehicle control device and presents information to an occupant through screen display or audio output. The on-vehicle control device acquires externality recognition information recognized by an externality sensor and/or out-of-vehicle communication, decides driving behavior content to be taken by the vehicle based on the externality recognition information, specifies a driving behavior cause which is a reason why the driving behavior content is decided, and outputs the driving behavior content and the specified driving behavior cause. The display device acquires the driving behavior content and cause output by the control device and sends a notification of the driving behavior content and cause through screen display or audio output.
