<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inter-vehicle control device reducing an incongruity sense felt by a driver. <P>SOLUTION: The inter-vehicle control device 1 includes an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 2. The ECU 2 controls travel of one's own vehicle 10 so as to follow a preceding vehicle. The ECU 2 detects an operation situation of an in-vehicle apparatus 5 and a face direction of the driver based on respective signal values output from the in-vehicle apparatus 5 and a face direction sensor 4, obtains a degree of attentiveness to the travel of the driver based thereon, and changes at least one of a deceleration gain value and an acceleration gain value of ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) control according to the degree of the attentiveness. Therefore, in controlling the ACC, an acceleration/deceleration gradient is controlled according to the attentiveness to the preceding vehicle. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
