To provide a travel support control device which makes a vehicle travel to a previously-registered target section.SOLUTION: A travel support device stores a plurality of registration overhead view images generated on the basis of an image captured by a camera device for registration that is closer to a target section out of a front camera device and a rear camera device in the initial travel to the target section, specifies a position of a vehicle with respect to the target section with matching between a front overhead view image and the registration overhead view image and matching between a rear overhead view image and the registration overhead view image in a case where a non-gradient condition satisfied when there is no gradient in the storage of the registration overhead view image and at the current time point is satisfied in the second or subsequent travel to the target section, and specifies the position of the vehicle with respect to the target section with matching between the registration overhead view image and a comparison overhead view image generated on the basis of the image captured by the camera device for registration at the current time point in a case where the non-gradient condition is not satisfied.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】車両を予め登録された目標区画へと走行させる走行支援制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】走行支援装置は、目標区画への初回走行時において、前カメラ装置及び後カメラ装置のうち目標区画に近い方の登録用カメラ装置が撮影した画像に基いて生成される登録俯瞰画像を複数記憶しておく。走行支援装置は、目標区画への２回目以降の走行時において、登録俯瞰画像の記憶時及び現時点にて勾配が無いときに成立する無勾配条件が成立した場合、前方俯瞰画像と登録俯瞰画像とのマッチング、及び、後方俯瞰画像と登録俯瞰画像とのマッチングにより、車両の目標区画に対する位置を特定する。走行支援装置は、無勾配条件が成立しない場合、登録用カメラ装置が現時点にて撮影した画像に基いて生成される比較俯瞰画像と登録俯瞰画像とのマッチングにより、車両の目標区画に対する位置を特定する。【選択図】図６
