To provide a platoon travel controller capable of properly recognizing an interruptive vehicle that interrupts between plural vehicles forming a platoon, and taking preventive measures for preventing the interruptive vehicle from interrupting the platoon.SOLUTION: A platoon travel controller mounted in a vehicle for controlling the platoon travel in which plural vehicles including an own vehicle 10 travel on the same lane while forming the platoon, includes: detection means 32 that detects another vehicle 14 which approaches the platoon in a vehicle width direction from a crosswise direction relative to an advancing direction of the platoon; recognition means 33 that, when a movement of the other vehicle 14 meets predetermined conditions including an index value indicating the approaching speed to the platoon as a conditional value, recognizes the other vehicle 14 as an interruptive vehicle which interrupts the front or rear of the own vehicle 10 in the platoon; and interrupt prevention means 34 that, when the interruptive vehicle is recognized, takes preventive measures for preventing the interruptive vehicle from interrupting the platoon.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】隊列を構成する複数の車両の間に割り込んでくる割り込み車両を的確に認識し、この割り込み車両に対して隊列への割り込みを防ぐための防止措置を講じることが可能な隊列走行制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両に搭載され、同一車線を走行する自車両10を含む複数の車両で隊列を組んで走行する隊列走行を制御する隊列走行制御装置は、隊列の進行方向に対する横方向から隊列に向かって車幅方向に接近してくる他車両14を検出する検出手段32と、他車両14の動きが隊列への接近速度を示す指標値を条件値として含む所定の条件を満たすとき、当該他車両14を隊列における自車両10の前又は後に割り込んでくる割り込み車両として認識する認識手段33と、割り込み車両が認識されたとき、当該割り込み車両が隊列に割り込むことを防ぐための防止措置を講じる割り込み防止手段34とを有する。【選択図】図4
