1. A vehicle driving support control apparatus comprising:
- a peripheral monitoring sensor that acquires target object information including a longitudinal distance and a lateral position of each one or more of other vehicles with respect to an own vehicle, said other vehicles traveling in a front area of said own vehicle; and
an electronic control unit programmed to;
perform an inter-vehicle-distance control to specify a first vehicle from among one or more of said other vehicles as an inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle, and to control an acceleration of said own vehicle in such a manner that an inter-vehicle distance which is a longitudinal distance of said inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle with respect to said own vehicle is maintained at a predetermined inter-vehicle distance, andperform a following-travel steering control to specify a second vehicle from among one or more of said other vehicles as a following-travel steering target vehicle, and to generate a traveling trajectory of said following-travel steering target vehicle to control a steering angle of said own vehicle in such a manner that said own vehicle travels along a target traveling line determined based on said traveling trajectory,wherein,when said first vehicle specified as said inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle and said second vehicle specified as said following-travel steering target vehicle are the same specific other vehicle as each other, and there is a potential cutting-in vehicle having a possibility of cutting in between said own vehicle and said specific other vehicle, the ECU is programmed to;
newly specify said potential cutting-in vehicle as said inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle at a first time point in a cutting-in period from a time point at which said potential cutting-vehicle starts cutting in to a time point at which said potential cutting-vehicle finishes cutting in; and
newly specify said potential cutting-in vehicle as said following-travel steering target vehicle at a second time point in said cutting-in period, wherein said second time point is set to arrive after said first time point arrives.

Abstract
A driving support ECU performs an inter-vehicle-distance control and a following-travel steering control. When an inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle and a following-travel steering target vehicle are the same specific other vehicle as each other, and there is a potential cutting-in vehicle between an own vehicle and the specific other vehicle, the driving support ECU newly specifies the potential cutting-in vehicle as the inter-vehicle-distance target vehicle at a first time point in a cutting-in period and newly specifies the potential cutting-in vehicle as the following-travel steering target vehicle at a second time point in the cutting-in period.
