PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control method of a travel control apparatus configured to properly determine whether a vehicle can change the lane or not.SOLUTION: A travel control apparatus 100 includes: a first detector 110 for detecting an obstacle around a vehicle traveling on a first lane; and a second detector 110 for detecting a second lane located adjacent to the first lane. The travel control apparatus sets a first range which is larger than the area of a road surface occupied by the vehicle, in a lane-change target position in the second lane, detects a range in the second lane, as a second range, located on the side of the vehicle and including no obstacle, and permits lane change of the vehicle when the second range includes the first range. A control method of the travel control apparatus includes: detecting a traveling position of another vehicle in a width direction in the second lane; and enlarging the first range, when a distance in the width direction from a lane mark of the second lane on the side of the first lane to the other vehicle is less than a predetermined distance, as compared with a case where the above distance is equal to or larger than the predetermined distance, or reducing the second range.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】車線変更の可否を適切に判断することが可能な走行制御装置の制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】第1車線を走行する自車両の周囲の障害物を検出する第1検出器110と、第1車線に隣接する第2車線を検出する第2検出器110と、を備え、第2車線内における車線変更の目標位置に、自車両が路面に占める大きさ以上の第1範囲を設定し、自車両の側方に位置し、かつ、障害物が存在しない、第2車線内の範囲を第2範囲として検出し、第2範囲が第1範囲を含む場合に、自車両の車線変更を許可する走行制御装置100の制御方法であって、第2車線において他車両の幅員方向における走行位置を検出し、第2車線の第1車線側のレーンマークから他車両までの幅員方向における距離が所定距離未満である場合には、距離が所定距離以上である場合と比べて、第1範囲を大きくし、または、第2範囲を小さくする補正を行う制御方法。【選択図】 図1
