To notify the periphery of a merging behavior of the own vehicle at an earlier stage.SOLUTION: A travel support device of an automatic driving vehicle 1 includes: a lane change request detection unit 11 which detects a request instruction of a lane change to an adjacent travel lane from a merging lane on which the own vehicle 1 that can perform automatic driving is traveling; a target merging area setting unit 12 which sets a target merging area where the own vehicle 1 merges on the travel lane when the lane change request detection unit 11 detects the request instruction of the lane change of the own vehicle 1; an illumination irradiation unit 61 which irradiates illumination from the own vehicle 1 toward the target merging area set by the target merging area setting unit 12; and an illumination control unit 62 which controls the illumination irradiation unit 61 to illuminate the irradiation range based on the target merging area. The target merging area setting unit 12 sets an area adjacent to an end point of the merging lane and the target merging area on the travel lane. The illumination control unit 62 sets at least the entire length of the own vehicle 1 as the irradiation range.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】自車両の合流行動をより早期に周囲へ周知する。【解決手段】自動運転可能な自車両1が走行している合流車線から隣接する走行車線への車線変更の要求指示を検出する車線変更要求検出部11と、車線変更要求検出部11によって自車両1の車線変更の要求指示が検出されたとき、走行車線上に、自車両1が合流する目標合流エリアを設定する目標合流エリア設定部12と、目標合流エリア設定部12で設定された目標合流エリアに向けて自車両1から照明を照射する照明照射部61と、照明照射部61を制御して目標合流エリアに基づく照射範囲に照射させる照明制御部62と、を備えた自動運転車両1の走行支援装置であって、目標合流エリア設定部12は、走行車線上において、合流車線の終了地点に隣接するエリアを目標合流エリアと設定し、照明制御部62は、少なくとも自車両1の全長を照射範囲として設定する。【選択図】図1
