<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably stop a vehicle by easy control and suppress an unnecessary deceleration change just before a stop without giving an unnatural feeling to a driver. <P>SOLUTION: A travel control unit 5 sets a first area just after a preceding vehicle and a second area in the rear of the first area when it is estimated that the preceding vehicle is almost stopped. The travel control unit 5 calculates and outputs a deceleration G3 to stop one's own vehicle 1 at a position of Dstop in the rear of the preceding vehicle when the own vehicle 1 travels in an area in the further rear of the second area, outputs a prescribed deceleration KG2 only when the vehicle travels at a slower vehicle speed than a creep vehicle speed V2 at which the vehicle travels by a creep phenomenon when the own vehicle 1 travels in the second area, and outputs a prescribed deceleration KG1 larger than the prescribed deceleration KG2 only when the vehicle travels at a lower vehicle speed than the creep vehicle speed V1 at which the vehicle travels by the creep phenomenon when the own vehicle 1 travels in the first area. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
