To eliminate excess/shortage of the marginal driving force and thereby reduce the amount of fuel consumption.
A required driving force calculation part 10 calculates the required driving force on the basis of the amount of accelerator being stamped by the driver and the speed of the vehicle concerned. A preceding vehicle recognition part 20 acknowledges the vehicle running ahead and calculates the distance from the preceding vehicle, relative speed, etc. A running situation judging part 30 judges the running situation of the vehicle concerned on the basis of the preceding vehicle information including the inter-vehicle distance and relative speed recognized by the preceding vehicle recognition part 20 and the heading course altering information including the amount of steering wheel being turned, the operating signal for a direction indicator, etc. A required marginal driving force calculation part 40 calculates the required marginal driving force to be secured at each time on the basis of the running situation of the vehicle concerned judged by the running situation judging part 30, in addition to the amount of accelerator being operated and the vehicle speed.
