A host lane environment recognition unit acquires an operation of a target vehicle traveling in a host lane and a road environment. An adjacent lane environment recognition unit acquires operation of vehicles traveling in an adjacent lane and a road environment. A lane changeable space determination unit determines whether the host vehicle can change lanes using road environment information of the adjacent lane. A lane change control unit determines whether the target vehicle traveling in the host lane is allowed to change lanes, based on the operation of the target vehicle and the adjacent vehicle traveling in their lanes. The lane change control unit causes the host vehicle to change lanes based on determining whether the host vehicle can change lanes in the adjacent lane by the lane changeable space determination unit and whether or not the target vehicle is allowed to change lanes.
