Abstract

A vehicle drive control apparatus includes: an object detection unit which detects positions, speeds, and sizes of objects around an own vehicle; and a speed control unit which detects a moving object existing in a place adjacent to a scheduled travelling path of the own vehicle and a speed change induction obstacle inducing a future speed vector change of the moving object from the objects detected by the object detection unit and changes a speed of the own vehicle, on the basis of a relative position relation of the own vehicle and the detected moving object and the speed change induction obstacle.
