摘要： When a vehicle-to-vehicle time gap is changed from a first level to a second level with a selector switch, a controller determines a desired time gap so that the desired time gap varies from the first level to the second level at such a gradual rate as to prevent an abrupt change in the vehicle speed. The controller further determines a desired vehicle spacing from the controlled vehicle to a preceding vehicle in accordance with the desired time gap and a sensed vehicle speed, and controls the driving force and braking force of the controlled vehicle so as to bring the actual vehicle spacing closer to the desired vehicle spacing.

摘要： A preceding-vehicle follow-up control system is arranged to calculate a target vehicle speed based on a vehicle-to-vehicle distance and a controlled-vehicle speed, to calculate a target acceleration based on the target vehicle speed and to control driving force and braking force of the controlled vehicle based on the target acceleration. During this control period, the target acceleration is limited by an acceleration limit and a deceleration limit which are varied according the controlled-vehicle speed, respectively. This arrangement enables a follow-up vehicle speed control to be preferably executed without applying a strange feeling to a driver.

摘要： A preceding-vehicle follow-up control system is arranged to calculate a target vehicle speed employed for bringing a detected vehicle-to-vehicle distance closer to a target vehicle-to-distance, to control the controlled-vehicle speed to bring a controlled-vehicle speed closer to the target vehicle speed, to decelerate the controlled-vehicle speed to a set vehicle speed at a rate of a preset deceleration when the controlled-vehicle speed is greater than a control continuation decision value greater than an upper limit of the set vehicle speed and when the accelerating operation is terminated. This arrangement provides a smooth drive feeing to a driver even after an acceleration of the controlled vehicle is executed during a follow-up control and is terminated.

摘要： In automatic velocity controlling apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, an inter-vehicle distance detector is provided for detecting an inter-vehicle distance from the vehicle to another vehicle which is running at the detected inter-vehicle distance with respect to the vehicle. A vehicular running controller is provided for effecting a vehicular running control such that the vehicle follows up the other vehicle maintaining the inter-vehicle distance to the other vehicle at a predetermined inter-vehicle distance. An inter-vehicle distance determinator is provided for determining whether the inter-vehicle distance detector transfers from a first state in which the inter-vehicle distance to the other vehicle is detected to a second state in which the inter-vehicle distance to the other vehicle is undetected. A deceleration controlled state determinator is provided for determining whether the vehicle is in a deceleration controlled state when the inter-vehicle distance determinator determines that the vehicle has transferred from the first state to the second state. A deceleration keep command generator is provided for generating and outputting a vehicular deceleration keep command to the vehicular running controller to maintain a vehicular deceleration at a value which is immediately before the inter-vehicle distance determinator determines that the inter-vehicle distance detector has transferred from the first state to the second state when the deceleration controlled state determinator determines that the vehicle is in the deceleration controlled state.
