Abstract
A travel-lane determination unit determines whether a vehicle has entered a traffic lane on which a toll booth is provided. After it is determined that the vehicle has entered the traffic lane, a travel control unit pulls the vehicle to a position shifted from the center of the traffic lane toward the toll booth in a traffic-lane width direction, by the time when the vehicle reaches the toll booth.
