Abstract: A target deceleration for running on a curved road ahead of a vehicle is obtained, based on a driver's intention which is input or estimated, and a driver's driving skill level which is input or estimated; and deceleration control is performed so that deceleration applied to the vehicle becomes equal to the target deceleration. In a case where the driver's intention is to cause the vehicle to respond to driving operation relatively quickly, the target deceleration may be set to a relatively small value; and in a case where the driving skill level is relatively high, the target deceleration is set to a relatively small value. Further, the target deceleration is decided based on a state of a road where the vehicle runs.
