Abstract
A travel control device comprises: an object information acquisition unit that acquires object information including the position of an avoidance object around a subject vehicle; a planning unit that plans a target route passing the avoidance object on the basis of the position of the subject vehicle and the position of the avoidance object; a control unit that outputs command information, and a second setting unit that calculates a distance between the subject vehicle and the avoidance object along the vehicle width direction when driving the subject vehicle on the target route and uses the distance as the basis to set a tolerable vehicle width distance range. When an actual distance from the subject vehicle to the position of the avoidance object along the vehicle width direction is within the tolerable vehicle width distance range, the control unit drives the subject vehicle on the basis of the set target route.
