Abstract
A travel control device performs blind area avoidance control when a host vehicle is in a blind area, a relative speed which is a value obtained by subtracting a speed of the host vehicle from a speed of an adjacent vehicle is larger than a first relative speed threshold value, the relative speed is smaller than a second relative speed threshold value, and an elapsed time from the point of time the host vehicle entered the blind area is an elapsed time threshold value or more and does not perform the blind area avoidance control when the host vehicle is not in the blind area, when the relative speed is the first relative speed threshold value or less, when the relative speed is the second relative speed threshold value or more, or when the elapsed time is shorter than the elapsed time threshold value.
