<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an annunciator capable of performing an announcement under the consideration of actual traffic conditions and effectively obtaining the effects of the announcement of contact possibility. <P>SOLUTION: When a relative velocity Vr is larger than 0 (present vehicle is approaching the preceding vehicle), and the preceding vehicle is decelerating (steps S51 and S53), a gain k-TTC for a collision time is set so as to be a value k-1 larger than a value k-0 in a normal time (step S54). In this case, the gain k-TTC for the collision time is set to regulate the size of a damping force as the announcement of contact possibility. Therefore, when the present vehicle is approaching the preceding vehicle, and the preceding vehicle is decelerating, a larger damping force larger than normal is generated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
