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： A vehicle headway maintenance assist system is provided that provides a haptic notification to an accelerator to alert the driver under prescribed conditions. The vehicle headway maintenance assist system includes a preceding vehicle detection section, a reaction force generating section, and a control section. The preceding vehicle detection section is configured to detect a headway distance between a host vehicle and a preceding vehicle. The reaction force generating section is configured to generate a reaction force based on the headway distance detected by the preceding vehicle detection section. The control section is configured to control a relationship between a driving force and an accelerator actuation amount by a driver to increase the accelerator actuation amount at a time before the reaction force generating section generates the reaction force.

摘要： A vehicle headway maintenance assist system is provided that provides a haptic notification to an accelerator to alert the driver under prescribed conditions. The system changes a drive force/accelerator actuation relationship between an accelerator actuation amount and a target drive force or torque under the prescribed conditions. In particular, system changes a first drive force/accelerator actuation relationship to a second drive force/accelerator actuation relationship based on a vehicle running condition that was detected so that the driver more readily notices the haptic notification (e.g., an accelerator actuation reaction force) when the haptic notification is being applied to the accelerator to alert the driver under the prescribed conditions.
