TRAVEL CONTROL APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a travel control apparatus such that accurate following control can be implemented even at low speed, such as immediately before a vehicle stops or immediately after starting.

SOLUTION: The travel control apparatus includes: a target acceleration calculation part that calculates the target acceleration on the basis of input inter-vehicle distance information about the distance between the vehicle and a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of the vehicle and input information about a vehicle speed detected by a wheel speed detection part; and a control part that controls the vehicle such that the vehicle follows the preceding vehicle on the basis of the target acceleration calculated by the target acceleration calculation part. The target acceleration calculation part determines the target acceleration on the basis of acceleration of the vehicle that is calculated from the vehicle speed detected by the wheel speed detection part and acceleration in the direction of travel of the vehicle that is detected by a triaxial acceleration detection part.
