VEHICLE TRAVEL SUPPORT DEVICE

To provide a vehicle travel support device that can continue travel of the own vehicle without stopping the own vehicle or slowing the own vehicle down to an extremely low speed when there is a stopped vehicle or a vehicle traveling at the extremely low speed on a travel route of the own vehicle.SOLUTION: A vehicle travel support device 10, in a case where a preceding vehicle 201D that travels right before the own vehicle 100 at a travel speed equal to or less than a prescribed speed or a vehicle train 201G of plural vehicles including the preceding vehicle exists on a travel route of the own vehicle, when another vehicle does not exist on a travel route in a range within a first distance in front of the preceding vehicle or the lead vehicle of the vehicle train, sets a route that allows the own vehicle to enter in front of the preceding vehicle or the lead vehicle after overtaking the preceding vehicle or the lead vehicle as a travel route.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】自車両の走行ルート上に停止車両又は極低速で走行している車両が存在するときに自車両を停止させずに或いは自車両を極低速まで減速させずに自車両の走行を継続させることができる車両走行支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両走行支援装置１０は、所定速度以下の走行速度で自車両１００の直前を走行する先行車２０１Ｄ又は当該先行車を含む複数車両の車列２０１Ｇが自車両の走行ルート上に存在する場合において、先行車又は車列の先頭車両から前方に第１距離以内の範囲の走行ルート上に他の車両が存在しない場合、先行車又は先頭車両を追い越した後、先行車又は先頭車両の前方に自車両を進入させるルートを走行ルートとして設定する。【選択図】 図３
