The setting unit sets a set position of a preceding vehicle ahead of an own vehicle in a vehicle width direction as a control target point of follow-up traveling allowing for traveling while following the preceding vehicle. The control amount adjusting unit adjusts, on a basis of a first control adjustment value that is based on shape data of the preceding vehicle, a control amount that controls the own vehicle to the control target point.
