    Abstract: In a vehicle control apparatus employing a first speed self-adjustment control system configured to control a speed of a host vehicle based on a first command value, in a manner so as to maintain a distance of the host vehicle from a preceding vehicle or to maintain a set speed, a second speed self-adjustment control system is provided for controlling the host vehicle's speed based on a second command value determined based on information about a lateral acceleration acting on the host vehicle. Also provided is a deceleration selector configured to select either one of the first and second command values, which selected command value produces a greater deceleration exerted on the host vehicle. A control unit is configured to control the host vehicle's speed by driving an actuator based on the selected command value.

    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle motion control system which carries out acceleration and deceleration of a vehicle which satisfies driving feeling of a driver even in the state where a lateral motion of the vehicle is not involved. The vehicle motion control system includes a curve shape acquisition section 2 for acquiring a curve shape ahead of an own vehicle, an own vehicle position acquisition section 3 for acquiring a position of the own vehicle, and a vehicle motion control calculation section 4 for calculating a command value of a longitudinal acceleration generated for the vehicle based on the curve shape and the position of the own vehicle. The vehicle motion control calculation section 4 calculates a plurality of negative longitudinal acceleration command values during travel of the own vehicle from before a curve to a point where a curve curvature becomes constant or maximum after the vehicle enters into the curve. The longitudinal acceleration command values are changed based on at least one of: an estimate of the maximum lateral acceleration which is presumably generated during traveling a curve ahead of the own vehicle; a grade of the road ahead of the own vehicle, pedal operation by the driver, and a turning direction.

    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes a first section that recognizes a lane boundary line of a lane in which a vehicle is traveling. A second section recognizes a present position of a predetermined reference point of the vehicle. A third section calculates a predicted position of the reference point, wherein the predicted position is a predetermined interval ahead of the present position. A fourth calculates an imaginary lane boundary line, wherein the imaginary lane boundary line is tangent to the lane boundary line at a point close to the predicted position. A fifth section performs a control of preventing the vehicle from deviating from the lane by controlling the vehicle depending on positional relationship between the vehicle and the lane boundary line. A sixth section selectively permits and suppresses the control depending on positional relationship among the imaginary lane boundary line, the present position, and the predicted position.
