When notified of occurrence of a cut-in vehicle from any of the vehicles performing convoy travel in accordance with the traveling order, a convoy managing unit uses the driving control information to determine a new leading vehicle from among following vehicles, and divides the convoy into a first convoy ahead of the cut-in vehicle and a second convoy behind the cut-in vehicle. A convoy control unit notifies the new leading vehicle of traveling control information including an instruction to cause the cut-in vehicle to cut in front of the new leading vehicle and an instruction to be a leading vehicle of the second convoy.
