Abstract
A vehicle traveling control apparatus includes an autonomous sensor, a braking controller, a determination unit, a calculator, and a steering controller. The autonomous sensor recognizes an obstacle ahead of a vehicle. The braking controller determines possibility of contact on the basis of a relative distance and a relative speed between the vehicle and the obstacle, and, upon determining that the vehicle is likely to contact the obstacle, executes a strong braking control of reducing the relative speed to '0'. The determination unit calculates a predicted travel distance to be traveled until the relative speed is reduced to “0”, and permits steering intervention when the predicted travel distance is longer than the relative distance. The calculator calculates time-to-contact to be taken until the vehicle contacts the obstacle. The steering controller executes a steering control when the steering intervention is permitted and the time-to-contact becomes a time threshold or less.
