Abstract

A driving control device has a target-following driving control part performing a target-following driving control of a preceding vehicle in front of a vehicle, and a target acceleration setting part setting a target acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle to maintain a inter-vehicle distance between the vehicle and the preceding vehicle within a target inter-vehicle distance during the target-following driving control. The target acceleration setting part increases the target deceleration of the vehicle according to increasing of a difference between the inter-vehicle distance and the target inter-vehicle distance. A deceleration correction part increases the target deceleration when a period during which the preceding vehicle has been continuously recognized is more than a predetermined period and the inter-vehicle distance is less than a predetermined distance.
