Abstract
The lane change intention discrimination portion executes intention discrimination processing when it receives from the vehicle control ECU an instruction for controlling the blinker. The intention discrimination processing is processing to discriminate what type of pattern for the lane change operation was demanded in the instruction for controlling the blinker. The start and exit timing setting portion executes timing setting processing based on a discrimination result of the intention discrimination processing. The timing setting processing is processing to set a start timing and an exit timing of the lighting operation of the blinker.
