Curve approach control apparatus.

摘要

The present invention provides a curve approach control apparatus comprising: an allowable lateral acceleration setting means (26) to set as an allowable lateral acceleration a lateral acceleration that a vehicle can tolerate when it negotiates a curve in front; an allowable approach speed setting means (27) to set an allowable approach speed an approach speed at which the vehicle can negotiate the curve, based on at least the allowable lateral ion; decision control means (31) to estimate and judge an approach of the vehicle to the curve based on at least the allowable approach speed and execute a predetermined control; and a road surface friction coefficient estimation means (21) to estimate a road surface friction coefficient; wherein the allowable lateral acceleration setting means (26) corrects, according to the road surface friction coefficient, an allowable percentage of the lateral acceleration that occurs in the vehicle as it negotiates the curve and sets the allowable lateral acceleration.
