Preceding vehicle following control system

摘要

A preceding vehicle following control apparatus includes a sensor sensing an actual vehicle speed, a sensor sensing an actual vehicle spacing from a controlled vehicle to a preceding vehicle ahead, and an actuator for regulating a driving/braking force of the controlled vehicle. A controller controls the vehicle speed or the vehicle spacing in a following control mode with the actuator, and starts a deceleration control if an anti-lock brake control is started in the following control mode. The controller cancels the deceleration control when the vehicle spacing becomes greater than a predetermined spacing value.
