To provide a convoy travel apparatus, when finishing to overtake a preceding vehicle, capable of preventing break of order of the convoy by preventing another vehicle from breaking therein.SOLUTION: When a vehicle group A traveling by convoy travel catches up another preceding vehicle B traveling at a slower speed than a setup vehicle speed of the vehicle group A by a prescribed speed or more, a travel control unit for controlling convoy travel causes the vehicles of the vehicle group A to sequentially overtake the other vehicle in order of a rearmost vehicle A5 thereof and, after overtaking the other vehicle B, to cause the vehicles thereof to travel ahead of the vehicle that have overtaken the other vehicle prior thereto.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】先行車両を追い越し終えた時に、隊列走行の車列に他車を割りこませずに隊列順番を崩さないようすることができる隊列走行装置を提供する。【解決手段】隊列走行を制御する走行制御部は、隊列走行にて走行中の車群Aが、車群Aの設定車速よりも規定速度以上遅い速度で走行する先行する他車Bに追いついたときには、車群Aの最後尾の車両A5から順次他車Bを追い抜き、且つ他車Bを追い抜き後に、先に追い抜いた車両の前を走行する。【選択図】図2
