Abstract
A travel control system for a vehicle is configured to control travel of a vehicle with respect to a congestion section using information about the congestion section acquired from an outside of the vehicle by communication. The system includes a congestion position estimation unit and a reliability determination unit. The congestion position estimation unit is configured to, when the information about the congestion section cannot be acquired within a prescribed time, estimate a position of the congestion section using a probability distribution model of the congestion section. The reliability determination unit is configured to determine a reliability of the position of the congestion section estimated by the congestion position estimation unit based on a change of the probability distribution model over time.
