ABSTRACT:
A traveling-path temporary-setting unit 21 sets a plurality of temporary traveling paths with different curvatures, and a calculation unit 22 calculates distances between the temporary traveling paths and preceding vehicles detected by a radar unit 1. In case of a properly-set temporary traveling path, the path and running loci of the preceding vehicles are on a concentric circle. In this case, the preceding vehicles are running along this temporary traveling path, and a time change amount of calculated distances is approximately "0". A traveling-path determination unit 23 determines, one temporary traveling path having the minimum time change amount in the distances, as a traveling path of the vehicle.
