Abstract
A vehicle traveling control apparatus includes a communicator and a processor. The communicator communicates with mobile terminals of occupants traveling in vehicles. The processor executes control using data received from the mobile terminals. The processor acquires position data received from the mobile terminals, generates, from the position data acquired, data indicating respective traveling speeds or respective changes in traveling speed, extracts mobile terminals assumed to be in the same vehicle based on a degree of correlation in terms of the traveling speeds or changes in traveling speed, estimates a size or a kind of the vehicle based on a difference between positions of the mobile terminals extracted, and controls traveling of the vehicles by estimating the position of the vehicle on the road based on the size or the kind of the vehicle estimated and the position data on the mobile terminals extracted.
