Abstract
A traveling control system for a motor vehicle includes a detector for detecting an object which exists in front of the motor vehicle to follow a vehicle traveling ahead. The system further includes a first course determination device for estimating a first course on which the motor vehicle will travel hereafter, an identification device for identifying an first target vehicle among the objects existing on the first course, and a second course estimation device for estimating, based on the first target vehicle, a second course on which the motor vehicle will travel hereafter at least while the first target vehicle is outside of the first course. The identification device identifies a second target vehicle among vehicles which travel on the first or second courses while the first target vehicle is outside of the first course.
