1. A travelling control system for vehicles comprising:
a plurality of vehicles each including a controller configured to execute travelling control of an automatic drive or of a driving support in a case that the plurality of vehicles travels on a road;
a server including a generator configured to generate a travelling control information for the plurality of vehicles;
a predictor which is provided in the server and which is configured to predict a merging interference between a first vehicle, of the plurality of vehicles, travelling from a merging road toward a main road and a second vehicle, of the plurality of vehicles, travelling on the main road;
a sender which is provided in the first vehicle travelling on the merging road and which is configured to send an interference suppressing request to the second vehicle travelling on the main road in a case that the first vehicle has received predicting information of the merging interference with the second vehicle from the server; and
a receiver which is provided in the second vehicle travelling on the main road and which is configured to receive the interference suppressing request from the first vehicle travelling on the merging road, wherein:
the travelling control system is configured to send the travelling control information generated by the generator of the server to the plurality of vehicles so as to cause the controller of each of the plurality of vehicles to execute a travelling control using the travelling control information; and
the controller of the second vehicle travelling on the main road is configured to execute interference suppressing control of suppressing an approach of the second vehicle to the first vehicle travelling from the merging road to the main road, in a case that the receiver receives the interference suppressing request from the first vehicle.
