Abstract
In the present invention, it is possible to accurately predict, at an earlier timing, that a pedestrian will perform constant speed movement or a route change that is more complex than the constant speed movement. Provided is a travel control device that can accurately determine a change in the route of the pedestrian according to a change in the pedestrian'"'"'s posture and, in particular, a change in the orientation of the body or a change in an inverted angle, and that can appropriately control the travel of the vehicle.
