Abstract:
A driving support ECU performs an inter-vehicle-distance control and a following-travel steering control. When an inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle and a following-travel steering target vehicle are the same specific other vehicle as each other, and there is a potential cutting-in vehicle between an own vehicle and the specific other vehicle, the driving support ECU newly specifies the potential cutting-in vehicle as the inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle at a first time point in a cutting-in period and newly specifies the potential cutting-in vehicle as the following-travel steering target vehicle at a second time point in the cutting-in period.

Claim (Index 3):
The vehicle driving support control apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein, said traveling control means is configured:\n to specify a third vehicle as said potential cutting-in vehicle, when a longitudinal distance of said third vehicle with respect to said own vehicle is shorter than a longitudinal distance of said specific other vehicle with respect to said own vehicle, wherein said third vehicle is a vehicle which is traveling in said front area of said own vehicle and which is one of said other vehicles other than said specific other vehicle; \n to newly specify said potential cutting-in vehicle as said inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle, when said potential cutting-in vehicle satisfies a predetermined condition; and \n to newly specify said potential cutting-in vehicle as said following-travel steering target vehicle, when a specific condition becomes satisfied after said potential cutting-in vehicle has already been newly specified as said inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle, said specific condition including a condition to be satisfied when a determination distance becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined following-travel steering control threshold, wherein said determination distance is a distance in a lane width direction between said traveling trajectory of said specific other vehicle and said specified potential cutting-in vehicle.
