Abstract: In a target track generation apparatus, a subject vehicle reference preceding vehicle position calculator calculates a point group of subject vehicle reference preceding vehicle positions representing a history of a relative position of a preceding vehicle in a coordinate system using a current position of a subject vehicle as a reference.
