Abstract

A cruise control apparatus according to the present invention comprises a curve shape detection unit that detects the shape of a curve, an estimation trajectory calculation means that, on the basis of vehicle speed, calculates an estimated trajectory that satisfies a relationship in which a G-G diagram, which is a relationship between lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration, draws an arc, and a steering start point determination unit that determines a steering start point in front of a curve so that the estimated trajectory falls within the curve.
