Abstract
A driving control apparatus for a vehicle having a CACC function for performing convoy cruise by cooperative adaptive cruise control using an ACC function together with driving information on convoy vehicles obtained by vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and a tracking control function for performing steering control to perform following cruise to the preceding vehicle when it is determined that a lane cannot be recognized during the convoy cruise, the driving control apparatus has a function for: notifying a driver of CACC function cancelation and of tracking control start, in case in which failure has occurred in the vehicle-to-vehicle communication or the lane cannot be recognized during the convoy cruise; shifting to following cruise by the tracking control function; and setting override threshold values serving as a determination criterion of operation intervention for stopping the tracking control function to a second value greater than a first value of during normal operation.
