DRIVING SUPPORT DEVICE, METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for recovering energy while suppressing an excessive increase in the magnitude of braking force.

SOLUTION: Driving support devices, methods, and programs determine a target position ahead of a vehicle and a target vehicle speed at the target position; divide a section between a deceleration start position to start deceleration of the vehicle and the target position into a plurality of sections; set target charging electric power to be charged to the battery at different values for respective sections forming the plurality of sections in order to generate regenerative braking for reducing the speed of the vehicle to the target vehicle speed between the deceleration start position and the target position; and control the generator installed in the vehicle in the respective sections forming the plurality of sections to generate regenerative braking for charging the battery with the target charging power.
