摘要： Recognition result of an objective recognized as a preceding vehicle is analyzed to judge whether this objective is correctly detected as a vehicle or not. A relative acceleration is calculated based on a relative speed corresponding to the objective when analysis result shows properness of this objective as a vehicle. The relative acceleration is set to 0 when analysis result shows improperness of the objective. An inter-vehicle control amount is corrected based on the obtained relative acceleration. The distance between the preceding vehicle and the controlled vehicle is controlled based on the corrected inter-vehicle control amount.

摘要： It judges whether a decelerator, such as fuel cut, over-drive cut, down shifting, braking, is in a temporarily unusable condition and further judges that it is necessary to drive the decelerator by the inter-vehicle control. It continues control by the inter-vehicle control means when it is necessary to drive the decelerator by the inter-vehicle control and it is judged that the decelerator is in the temporarily unusable condition. It informs the driver of data in the temporary unusable condition and further inform the driver of alarm data when the actual inter-vehicle distance is shorter than a reference. The data agrees with the alarm data. The same operation may be effected regarding accelerator. The temporarily unusable condition may be caused by continuous operation of brake pressure actuator longer than the rating.

摘要： A distance control is performed to maintain a target distance between two traveling vehicles by controlling an acceleration/deceleration actuator based on a physical quantity representing an actual distance between the two traveling vehicles. A temporary distance control is performed to suppress a deceleration degree of a succeeding vehicle to a smaller value compared with a deceleration degree attainable during an ordinary distance control, when the two traveling vehicles are departing from each other under a condition where the actual distance between the two traveling vehicles is already shorter or will soon become shorter than a standard target distance.

摘要： A control ratio (&ggr;) of a distance deviation (&Dgr;d) to a target distance (dm) is obtained to control a space between two traveling vehicles. The distance deviation (&Dgr;d) is the difference between an actual distance (d) and the target distance (dm). A target control quantity, such as acceleration, engine torque or vehicle speed, is determined in accordance with the obtained control ratio (&ggr;) so as to equalize the actual distance (d) to the target distance (dm).

摘要： In automatic cruising control according to the distance between the preceding and this vehicle (inter-vehicle distance), acceleration and deceleration force information is visually or acoustically provided to the driver. A value corresponding to an actual inter-vehicle distance and actual acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle is detected to control according to a target acceleration and deceleration value. The target acceleration and deceleration value is determined so as to equalize the value to a target value corresponding to a target inter-vehicle distance. The driver of the vehicle is informed that at least one of the target acceleration and deceleration value and the actual acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle reaches a predetermined threshold value. The level of acceleration and deceleration force in automatic cruising may be informed. Information may be provided to the driver when the acceleration and deceleration reaches the upper or lower limit or maximum value.

摘要： A collision avoidance control system for a vehicle is provided which is designed to determine a target collision avoidance deceleration required for a system vehicle equipped with this system to bring a relative speed between the system vehicle and a target object into agreement with substantially zero without a physical collision with the target object and to determine a possibility of collision with the target object as a function of the target collision avoidance deceleration. When the possibility of collision is higher than a given threshold level, the system starts to decelerate the system vehicle. This enables the avoidance of collision with the target object at a decreased operation load on the system.

摘要： In a vehicle control system performing collision avoiding control when a collision with a preceding vehicle cannot be avoided by normal running condition control, driving safety is improved by prompting a driver to intervene in the vehicle's control in a reliable manner. When a set switch is turned on in the “cancel” state, the transition to the “in-control, inter-vehicle distance control” sub-state occurs and an inter-vehicle distance control is performed. If a collision with a preceding vehicle cannot be avoided by the inter-vehicle distance control (if the collision alarm flag XA=1), transition to the “in-control, collision alarm” sub-state occurs and a collision alarm is generated. If the acceleration required for avoiding collision is further increased (if the collision avoiding control flag XC=1), the state transits to the “in-control, collision avoiding control” sub-state, and a collision avoiding control is performed.

摘要： An informing apparatus is designed for use with a cruise control system having at least one of a function of inter-vehicle control for enabling a present vehicle to follow a preceding vehicle and a function of constant-speed travel control for enabling the present vehicle to travel at a constant speed. In the informing apparatus, a determination is made as to whether or not a main switch is in its ON position. The main switch is designed for setting a state in which the cruise control system can start to operate. A determination is made as to whether or not a set switch is in its OFF position. The set switch is designed for commanding execution of cruise control. A speed of the present vehicle and a setting lower limit vehicle speed are indicated on a contradistinction basis when it is determined that the main switch is in its ON position while the set switch is in its OFF position. The setting lower limit vehicle speed denotes a lower limit of a vehicle speed range in which the cruise control is enabled.

摘要： When a drive control operation is set, a vehicle driving system sets a travel speed of a vehicle as a target travel speed, stores it as a set travel speed and starts drive control of the vehicle. When the drive control operation is resumed, the vehicle driving system compares the set travel speed stored in a memory and a recommended speed of a road on which the vehicle is traveling. When the recommended speed is smaller than the set travel speed and a speed limit change flag is kept reset, the vehicle driving system sets the recommended speed as the target travel speed, and restarts the drive control of the vehicle. When the recommended speed is larger than the set travel speed and at the same time the speed limit change flag is kept reset, the vehicle driving system sets the set travel speed as the target travel speed, and restarts the drive control of the vehicle.

摘要翻译： 当设置驱动控制操作时，车辆驱动系统将车辆的行驶速度设定为目标行驶速度，将其作为设定行驶速度存储，并开始车辆的驾驶控制。 当驱动控制操作恢复时，车辆驾驶系统将存储在存储器中的设定行驶速度与车辆行驶的道路的推荐速度进行比较。 当推荐速度小于设定行驶速度并且速度限制改变标志被保持复位时，车辆驾驶系统将推荐速度设定为目标行驶速度，并且重新启动车辆的驱动控制。 当推荐速度大于设定行驶速度时，同时速度限制改变标志保持复位，车辆驾驶系统将设定行驶速度设定为目标行驶速度，并重新启动车辆的驱动控制。
