Abstract
A driving assistance method for controlling an own vehicle by a controller in such a way that the own vehicle travels along a target travel trajectory includes: acquiring level-difference information of a level difference existing along a lane in which the own vehicle travels; and when, from the level-difference information, determining that the own vehicle is to climb over the level difference, generating the target travel trajectory in such a way that a level-difference climbing-over angle, which is an angle formed by the level difference and the target travel trajectory, is larger than a threshold value.
