Abstract
A control device for vehicle travelling is provided, which executes following control that controls a vehicle speed in accordance with a following distance from a preceding vehicle. The following control includes LK following control that is executed so that a following distance from a preceding vehicle on a travel lane becomes an LK target following distance, under a situation of lane keep. The following control farther includes LC following control that is executed so that a following distance from a vehicle to be a preceding vehicle on a target lane becomes an LC target following distance, under a situation of lane change. In the LC following control, a vehicle speed is controlled so that a larger value is allowed as compared with at a time of execution of the LK following control, with respect to one or both of an acceleration and a jerk.
