<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle travel control method and device for suppressing reduction in air flow rate to be introduced to a vehicle on the back side without greatly increasing the consumed energy during following travel of a vehicle. <P>SOLUTION: In the vehicle travel control method and device, when one's own vehicle is substantially stored in a peeling region of the air flow at the back of the other vehicle and the inflow air flow rate blown into the own vehicle is smaller than the necessary air flow rate required by an object to be cooled by the air flow, the inflow air flow rate is increased by separating the part from which the air is introduced into the own vehicle from the peeling region of the air flow at the back of the other vehicle. Thus, in a state where the performance of a cooling system of the own vehicle is maintained, saving of the consumed energy and travel stability improvement by the air resistance reduction effect are achieved in both of the own vehicle and the other vehicle. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
