Abstract
A traveling control apparatus includes a speed control processor, first and second brake command detectors, a brake control processor, and an operational state setting unit. The speed control processor controls a vehicle speed to cause a vehicle to travel at a target speed, and is switchable between an active operational state and an inactive operational state. The first brake command detector detects a first brake command based on a driver's operation. The brake control processor generates a second brake command based on an environment outside the vehicle. The second brake command detector detects the second brake command. The operational state setting unit maintains the speed control processor in the active operational state when the first brake command is generated while the speed control processor is in the active operational state, and switches the speed control processor to the inactive operational state when the second brake command is generated.
