<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a travel support device for a vehicle performing the travel support control wherein one's own vehicle can safely and smoothly cross an oncoming vehicle having enough allowance in the road width direction. <P>SOLUTION: The travel support device predicts the cross position of one's own vehicle with the oncoming vehicle, and calculates a first road width remaining amount after the width of the oncoming vehicle is subtracted from the road width at the predicted cross position. The travel support device detects the preliminary cross position where a second road width remaining amount after the width of the oncoming vehicle is subtracted from the road width further at one's own vehicle side than the predicted cross position is not less than the width having allowance. When the first road width remaining amount is smaller than the attention width necessary to have the attention when one's own vehicle crosses the oncoming vehicle, and the preliminary cross position is detected by the preliminary cross position detection means, the second travel support control is performed so as to cross at the preliminary position. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
