Abstract:
Provided is a vehicle travel control device which simultaneously achieves the behavioral stability of a vehicle and the continuity of travel assistance during vehicle travel assistance. The setting range of controlled variable to an actuator in travel assistance control is limited on the basis of the information having higher priority among road type information and road shape information. Thus, compared to when the setting range of the control variable is determined on the basis of only the road type information or the road shape information, it is possible to suppress excessive limitations on the applicable range/duration time of travel assistance.

Claim (Index 6):
The vehicle travel control device according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a steering angle setting unit configured to set a steering angle on a basis of a travel direction of the vehicle; an automatic steering device configured to automatically steer the actuator so as to attain the steering angle set by the steering angle setting unit; and an automatic acceleration/deceleration device configured to automatically control acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle; wherein: the road shape acquisition unit further comprises a curvature acquisition unit configured to acquire a road curvature of the road in the frontward travel direction of the vehicle; the environmental restriction amount is set as a value that restricts the steering angle during automatic steering, on a basis of the information of the road type acquired by the road type acquisition unit; and the setting range restricting unit is configured to restrict the steering angle on the basis of a smaller value from among the environmental restriction amount and the necessary restriction amount, and together therewith, in a case that the road curvature acquired by the curvature acquisition unit is a value exceeding a threshold curvature, automatic steering by the automatic steering device is canceled or prohibited, or the vehicle is configured to be decelerated by the automatic acceleration/deceleration device.
