Abstract
A traveling control apparatus includes: an information obtainer configured to obtain braking state information of a braking device in the host vehicle; and an ACC-ECU configured to execute traveling control including constant speed traveling control to cause the host vehicle to travel at a constant speed based on a preset vehicle speed, and follow-up traveling control to cause the host vehicle to travel so as to follow another vehicle traveling ahead of the host vehicle at a predetermined inter-vehicle distance. The ACC-ECU deactivates the ACC at a time when a braking performance index EV, derived from braking state information obtained by the information obtainer while the ACC being in operation, is deemed to be decreased by more than a predetermined first variation width IN_dif, as compared with a braking performance index EVat a time of the ACC having been activated.
