Abstract:
A travel control method of the present invention includes: recognizing the lane in which the host vehicle is traveling; controlling the travel of the host vehicle such that the host vehicle is situated at a predetermined position relative to a boundary line of the lane; detecting an increase in the lane width of the lane in which the host vehicle is traveling; and, if determining that one of the boundary lines situated to the left and the right of the host vehicle is a dashed line, controlling the travel of the host vehicle based on the dashed boundary line.

Claim (Index 2):
A travel control method by which a travel control device recognizes a lane in which a host vehicle is traveling and controls travel of the host vehicle such that the host vehicle is situated at a predetermined position relative to a boundary line of the lane,\n the travel control method comprising, if a lane width of the lane in which the host vehicle is traveling increases and it is determined that one of boundary lines situated to left and right of the host vehicle is a dashed line, controlling the travel of the host vehicle based on the dashed boundary line, and if it is impossible to determine that one of the boundary lines situated to the left and the right of the host vehicle is a dashed line and it is determined that the host vehicle is traveling on a local road, controlling the travel of the host vehicle based only on the boundary line on a side opposite from an oncoming vehicle.
