VEHICLE DRIVING CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

A vehicle driving control apparatus is provided for controlling an own vehicle to track a target vehicle. The vehicle driving control apparatus includes: (1) means for acquiring an actual relative speed of the target vehicle to the own vehicle; (2) means for setting a target acceleration of the own vehicle based on the product of a relative speed gain and the actual relative speed acquired by the acquiring means, the relative speed gain being normally set to a reference gain; (3) means for detecting occurrence of an event which causes the target acceleration set by the setting means to discontinuously change; and (4) means for correcting, upon detection of occurrence of the event by the detecting means, the relative speed gain so as to gradually increase the relative speed gain from a value that is less than the reference gain.

1. A vehicle driving control apparatus for controlling an own vehicle to track a target vehicle, the target vehicle being a preceding vehicle which runs ahead of the own vehicle and is selected by the vehicle driving control apparatus to be tracked by the own vehicle, the vehicle driving control apparatus comprising:
means for acquiring an actual relative speed of the target vehicle to the own vehicle; means for setting a target acceleration of the own vehicle based on the product of a relative speed gain and the actual relative speed acquired by the acquiring means, the relative speed gain being normally set to a reference gain; means for detecting occurrence of an event which causes the target acceleration set by the setting means to discontinuously change; and means for correcting, upon detection of occurrence of the event by the detecting means, the relative speed gain so as to gradually increase the relative speed gain from a value that is less than the reference gain.
