The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent auxiliary driving for vehicles and vehicle safety and particularly relates to a learning cruise control system and method used for a drivingstyle and based on mode switching. By means of the system and method, self-adaption cruise control is conducted through mode switching of a special driver style and self-adaption learning for the carfollowing behavior. According to the system and method, the driving style is defined to be switch strategies of a cruise control mode, an acceleration approach mode, a steady-state car following modeand a quick braking mode of a driver under different car following conditions, the driving style of the driver is learned, and the driving characteristic of the driver is further learned through a learning method based on a continuous state under each driving mode. The system is suitable for automatic driving of an L2-level vehicle, the aim is to effectively learn the driving style characteristicof the driver, and the adaptability and acceptability of the specific driver for the self-adaption cruise system under different working conditions are improved.
