Abstract
A cruise control device 10 includes a cutting-in/deviation determination unit 12 for performing cutting-in determination and deviation determination of another vehicle. The cutting-in/deviation determination unit 12 calculates a lateral position that is a position in a vehicle width direction of a forward vehicle 51 traveling ahead of an own vehicle 50, and determines the forward vehicle 51 traveling on an adjacent lane 64 to be a cutting-in vehicle into an own lane 63 and determines the forward vehicle 51 traveling on the own lane 63 to be a deviating vehicle from the own lane 63 on the basis of the calculated lateral position. The cutting-in/deviation determination unit 12 determines whether or not the own vehicle 50 is in a predetermined own vehicle turning state that is either one of a state before starting a turn or a state of turning, and determines permission of performing of cutting-in determination and deviation determination of the other vehicle on the basis of the determination result.
