A traveling body (motor vehicle, ship) using an automatic inertia traveling apparatus is provided with a feedback control where a traveling body speed is a feedback amount. The traveling body is accelerated by controlling a fuel-regulating mechanism of an engine in accordance with a traveling body speed deviation. When the speed of the traveling body reaches a target traveling body speed, an electromagnetic clutch is disengaged and the engine is made the transition to an idle operation. When the speed of the traveling body is below an allowable range of the target traveling body speed, the electromagnetic clutch is engaged and the idling operation is stopped, and the acceleration control based on a traveling body speed deviation is performed. As a result, fuel consumption is drastically reduced. |
