Abstract
A traveling control apparatus includes an obstacle detection unit, a detour determination unit, first and second on-road parking determination unit, first and second target lateral position determination units, and a traveling control processor. When an obstacle is highly likely or likely to be a second vehicle parked on the road, the first target lateral position determination unit determines a first target lateral position. When the obstacle is determined to be the second vehicle parked on the road, the second target lateral position determination unit determines a second target lateral position. When the obstacle is determined not to be the second vehicle parked on the road and there is a detour, the second target lateral position determination unit determines a third target lateral position. The traveling control processor controls a first vehicle based on a result of determining by the first or second target lateral position determination unit.
