Abstract
A travel control device assists automatic traveling of a vehicle by controlling a target vehicle speed, which is a target value of an actual vehicle speed, when making the vehicle travel to a target point. The travel control device includes a setting unit for executing a setting process for setting the course of the target vehicle speed until the vehicle reaches the target point, based on the actual vehicle speed and the target point. If a request to change the vehicle speed occurs during execution of the automatic traveling and the actual vehicle speed is changed based on the request, the setting unit executes a resetting process for resetting the course of the target vehicle speed, based on the actual vehicle speed when the request is canceled and a remaining distance from a position of the vehicle when the request is canceled to the target point.
