AUXILIARY DEVICE FOR DRIVE OPERATION FOR VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately inform a driver of an ambient environment based on change of a reaction characteristic in an accelerator pedal. SOLUTION: Traveling conditions of own vehicle and a preceding vehicle are detected by a laser radar 10, a front camera 20 and a vehicle-speed sensor 40. A risk calculating part 50 calculates a risk P in the own vehicle or a periphery of the own vehicle, based on the detected travel conditions. An accelerator pedal reaction controller 70 increases exponentially an increase amount of accelerator pedal reaction between the minimum value and the maximum value in accompaniment to the increase of the calculated risk P so as to control the accelerator pedal reaction in response to the risk P.
