Abstract
A traveling control apparatus detects a target object that is present ahead in a travelling direction of an own vehicle and is not present in an own traffic lane or within an own vehicle width. This control apparatus detects a relative speed of the target object relative to the own vehicle along the travelling direction. The control apparatus sets a target acceleration of the own vehicle along the travelling direction. The control apparatus enables the own vehicle to travel at the set target acceleration and to pass a side of the target object. In response to the relative speed being equal to or greater in magnitude than a first threshold that is a predetermined negative value, the control apparatus sets the target acceleration to be within a range from the first threshold speed to a second threshold speed that is a predetermined negative value that is greater in magnitude than the first threshold speed.
