Title:
VEHICLE TRAVEL CONTROLLER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3666338
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically specify a vehicle to be followed up.
SOLUTION: When a specified vehicle is not set, a constant speed travel control for traveling at a constant speed is performed so that a vehicle speed becomes a preset vehicle speed. When an advance vehicle is detected on a vehicle traveling lane when a specified vehicle is not set, the advance vehicle is set to the specified vehicle, the specified vehicle is followed up based on the results of measurement of a vehicle-to-vehicle distance and a bearing, and a specified vehicle follow-up control to follow up the specified vehicle while maintaining the vehicle-to-vehicle distance at a constant is performed as far as the vehicle is within the range of the measurement of vehicle-to-vehicle distance and bearing. Thus, a vehicle to be followed up can be specified automatically, and such an existing troublesome operation that a vehicle to be followed up must be specified manually by an input device during the operation can be eliminated.
