<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain shortening of the distance between a vehicle and another vehicle running immediately behind resulting from intersection nonstop travel control to keep an appropriate inter-vehicle distance. <P>SOLUTION: Intersection nonstop travel control is so executed that information on any following vehicle is acquired; if the presence of a following vehicle is recognized, a deceleration Gr1 required by the following vehicle to keep an appropriate inter-vehicle distance is calculated if an own vehicle slows down to a deceleration G1 required by the intersection nonstop travel control; if the deceleration Gr1 is at or beyond a set deceleration G0 where the deceleration is deemed abrupt, the intersection nonstop travel control is avoided to control the traveling at an original target traveling speed V0 or, if the deceleration Gr1 is less than the set deceleration G0, the traveling is slowed down to the deceleration G1 as a target traveling speed V2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
