To provide a convoy travel apparatus capable of merging according to a congestion state of a merging traffic lane without breaking order of the convoy as much as possible.SOLUTION: In a state where a vehicle group A including a self vehicle, performing convoy travel, travels an approach route R1, when a travel control unit for controlling the convoy travel detects other vehicles b1-b7 traveling a running lane R2 merging into the approach route R1, if an inter-vehicular distance between one of vehicles of the vehicle group A after the merging, and the vehicles b1-b7 traveling the running lane R2 is rearward enlarged by a first setup distance or more, the travel control unit divides the vehicle group A according to the inter-vehicular distance toward the vehicles b1-b7, causes rearmost vehicles a3 and a5 after the division to first merge into the running lane R2, and then causes the other vehicles a2, a1, and a4 of the vehicle group A after the division to merge into the running lane R2 ahead of the rearmost vehicles a3 and a5.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

    【課題】合流する車線の混雑状況に合わせて、極力車列順番を崩さずに合流することができる走行制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】隊列走行を制御する走行制御部は、自車両を含む隊列走行を行っている車群Aが進入路R1を走行しているときに、当該進入路R1と合流する走行車線R2を走行している他の車両b1〜b7を検出すると、車群Aの車両の一台が合流後に走行車線R2を走行の車両b1〜b7との車間距離が第1の設定距離以上に後方に空く場合に、車両b1〜b7との車間距離に応じて車群Aを分割して、分割後の最後尾車両a3、a5が最初に走行車線R2に合流し、当該最後尾車両a3、a5の前方に分割後の車群Aの他の車両a2、a1、a4が走行車線R2に合流させる。【選択図】図2
