Abstract
A processional travel control apparatus allows processional travel with a leading vehicle driven by a driver and at least one succeeding vehicle automatically following the leading vehicle, while maintaining distances and directions between the vehicles by means of radar devices. The leading vehicle and the succeeding vehicles constitute a group. Each of the vehicles comprises a vehicle group identifying device for distinguishing the vehicle group from another vehicle group, the vehicle group identifying device preventing radio interference between the groups during processional travel.
