A travel controller including an information acquisition part configured to acquire brake state information of a braking device of a host vehicle and an ACC-ECU configured to perform travel control, wherein the travel control includes constant speed travel control and headway travel control. The constant speed travel control is configured to control the host vehicle to travel at constant speed in accordance with a preset target vehicle speed. The headway travel control is configured to control the host vehicle to travel by following another vehicle travelling ahead so that a predetermined inter-vehicle distance in maintained with the other vehicle and the host vehicle travels in accordance with the target vehicle speed. In the ACC-ECU, when a braking performance index of the host vehicle has a "declined value", a target acceleration of Example 1 takes a reduced value compared to the target acceleration of Comparative Example for a common distance difference.
