VEHICLE TRAVEL CONTROLLER

摘要

A running control device of a vehicle including an engine, a brake operation member, and a brake booster, is configured to execute an engine brake running mode performed with the engine coupled to wheels and an inertia running mode performed with an engine brake force made lower than that in the engine brake running mode. The running control device executes first and second inertia running modes. The first inertia running mode is terminated when a brake request amount becomes equal to or greater than a predefined first determination value while the first inertia running mode is performed. The second inertia running mode is terminated and a return to the engine brake running mode is made when the brake request amount becomes equal to or greater than a predefined second determination value larger than the first determination value while the second inertia running mode is performed.

1. A running control device of a vehicle including an engine, a brake operation member operated depending on a brake request amount of a driver, and a brake booster amplifying a brake force by using a negative pressure generated by rotation of the engine,
the running control device of a vehicle being configured to execute an engine brake running mode performed with the engine coupled to wheels such that an engine brake is applied by driven rotation of the engine and an inertia running mode performed with an engine brake force made lower than that in the engine brake running mode, the brake request amount being included as a condition for terminating the inertia running mode, the running control device of a vehicle executing a first inertia running mode performed with the rotation of the engine stopped and a second inertia running mode performed with the engine kept rotating in accordance with predefined respective execution conditions as the inertia running mode, the first inertia running mode being terminated when the brake request amount becomes equal to or greater than a predefined first determination value while the first inertia running mode is performed, the second inertia running mode being terminated and a return to the engine brake running mode being made when the brake request amount becomes equal to or greater than a predefined second determination value larger than the first determination value while the second inertia running mode is performed.
