CRUISE CONTROL DEVICE AND CRUISE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

A road information acquisition unit (12a) acquires information about the road in a prescribed segment forwards of a vehicle (1) that is traveling with the acceleration pedal actuated a first actuation amount, a vehicle information acquisition unit (12b) acquires information about the vehicle (1), a velocity prediction unit (12c) predicts, on the basis of the road information and the vehicle information, the changes in the vehicle velocity that would be brought about in the prescribed segment if the acceleration pedal actuation amount were a second actuation amount greater than the first actuation amount, and an acceleration control unit (12d) controls the acceleration pedal actuation amount such that the acceleration pedal actuation amount of the vehicle (1) becomes the second actuation amount if the predicted vehicle velocity minimal value is less than a target velocity.
