  • Publication number: 20200386559
    Abstract: Provided are a traveling control apparatus, a vehicle, and a traveling control method in which appropriateness of a user target destination can be taken into consideration. A vehicle target destination calculation unit sets a vehicle target destination where a vehicle is to be stopped, on the basis of a user target destination inputted by a user via a target destination input unit. Further, in the case where it is determined, on the basis of information about the road of the user target destination, that the user target destination is an inappropriate stopping point which is on the road but is unsuitable for stopping the vehicle, the vehicle target destination calculation unit sets an appropriate stopping point off track from the user target destination as a vehicle target destination.
