Abstract
Provided is a travel trajectory control device for a vehicle which executes a vehicle travel trajectory control by calculating a target steering angle corresponding to a target steered angle of the front wheels for making a vehicle travel to track a target trajectory, and controlling the steered angle of the front wheels on the basis of the target steered angle with a steered angle varying device and a power steering device. The driving ability of a driver and/or a trajectory change intent thereof are determined. On the basis of a driving ability index value and/or an index value which denotes the intensity of the trajectory change intent of the driver, the tracking of the vehicle to the target trajectory is variably set by variably setting the gain in the travel trajectory control.
