Vehicle follow-up control system using target values of torque and acceleration

摘要

The follow-up control system is arranged to calculate a target speed (V*s) based on vehicle-to-vehicle distance (L) and controlled-vehicle speed (Vs), to calculate a target acceleration ( alpha *) based on the target speed (V*s), and to control driving force and braking force based on the target acceleration ( alpha *). During the control period, the target acceleration is limited by an acceleration limit ( alpha U) and a deceleration limit ( alpha D), which are varied according to the controlled-vehicle speed (Vs). This arrangement enables follow-up speed control to be preferably executed without giving a strange feeling to a driver.
