To enable a whole platoon of vehicles to swiftly change speeds according to a speed limit in the event that the speed limit of a road changes from one to another.SOLUTION: A platoon traveling controller of an embodiment of the present invention includes: a speed limit change detection unit that detects a speed limit change point on a road where a platoon of vehicles is traveling; a traveling speed alteration required or not required determination unit that determines based on a result of detection performed by the speed limit change detection unit whether the traveling speed of an own vehicle should be altered; and a platoon traveling control unit that, when the traveling speed of the own vehicle is required to be altered and the speed limit of the road is altered downward, computes a deceleration using a distance from a leading vehicle of the platoon of vehicles to a speed limit alteration initiation point and a speed difference between the speed limits before and after alteration, and alters the traveling speed of the own vehicle on the basis of the deceleration.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】道路の制限速度が切り替わる場合に、隊列全体が制限速度に応じて速やかに速度変更する。【解決手段】本発明の一態様の隊列走行制御装置は、隊列が走行する道路上の制限速度切替り地点を検知する制限速度切替り検知部と、この制限速度切替り検知部の検知結果から自車両の走行速度を変更する必要があるか否かを判定する走行速度変更要否判定部と、自車両の走行速度を変更する必要がある場合、かつ道路の制限速度が下がる方向に変更される場合に、隊列の先頭車両から制限速度変更開始地点までの距離と、切替り前及び切替り後の制限速度の速度差とを用いて減速側加速度を演算し、当該減速側加速度に基づいて自車両の走行速度を変更する隊列走行制御部と、を備える。【選択図】図2
