PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a merging vehicle to smoothly merge without relying on inter-vehicle communication.SOLUTION: When a length of a convoy 10 is larger than a merging distance 4, regardless of existence of a merging vehicle, a first vehicle 2a in the convoy 10: divides the same into small convoys (a front convoy 11 and a rear convoy 12) having lengths shorter than the merging distance 4; and widens an inter-vehicle distance between the small convoys to leave a merging space therebetween for the merging vehicle. Thus, the merging distance 4 can be prevented from being closed up by the small convoy because the same has the length shorter than the merging distance 4, and the merging space can be kept at least a place between the convoys, in front of the front convoy 11, and behind the rear convoy 12. Then, the merging vehicle can smoothly merge into a main traffic lane 6 by choosing, from among them, the merging space most convenient therefor.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

    【課題】車両間通信に頼らずに合流車両を円滑に合流させる。【解決手段】先頭車両2aは、隊列10の長さが合流区間4の長さよりも長い場合に、合流車両の有無にかかわらず、隊列10を合流区間4の長さよりも短い小隊列(前方隊列11、後方隊列12)に分割し、更に、両小隊列間の車間距離を広げて合流車両が合流するための間隔を設ける。小隊列は、何れも合流区間4の長さよりも短いため、合流区間4が小隊列によって塞がれることはなく、小隊列の間、前方隊列11の前、又は後方隊列12の後のうちの少なくとも一箇所に合流のための間隔が形成される。合流車両は、これらの間隔のうち、最も進入しやすい間隔を目指して合流することにより本車線6に円滑に合流する。【選択図】図2
