Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 3:
4. A traveling control apparatus to be applied to a vehicle, the traveling control apparatus comprising:
a steering angle detector configured to detect a steering angle absolute value of a steering wheel of the vehicle;
a vehicle speed detector configured to detect a speed of the vehicle; and
circuitry configured to:
cause the vehicle to travel at a constant speed that is based on a preset vehicle speed or cause the vehicle to travel and follow a preceding vehicle,
determine whether the vehicle falls within a turning region on a basis of the steering angle absolute value and the speed of the vehicle,
calculate a steering angle speed, on a basis of the steering angle absolute value detected by the steering angle detector, in a case where the turning region determining unit determines that the vehicle falls within the turning region,
set a steering angle correction value, on a basis of the speed of the vehicle detected by the vehicle speed detector and the calculated steering angle speed, in a case where the turning region determining unit determines that the vehicle falls within the turning region, and
set a target acceleration rate of a cruise control, on a basis of a steering angle and the speed of the vehicle detected by the vehicle speed detector, the steering angle being set on a basis of an addition of the set steering angle correction value to the steering angle absolute value detected by the steering angle detector.
