VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019001283
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a vehicle capable of smoothly performing operations from deceleration to acceleration without delay while travelling is performed by driving support.SOLUTION: The vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine; a transmission; a recognition unit which recognizes an other vehicle located in front of the vehicle; a support unit which controls support driving of the vehicle so that a relative position with respect to the other vehicle has a predetermined positional relationship and/or constant speed travelling, in which a travelling speed of the vehicle is equal to or lower than a target speed, is performed; and a control unit which controls the internal combustion engine and the transmission gear ratio of the transmission according to support control of the support unit. When the vehicle travels according to the support control, and the support unit predicts or detects that the other vehicle is in a near space closer to the vehicle than a space which satisfies the predetermined positional relationship ahead in a travelling direction of the vehicle, the control unit performs downshift control which increases the transmission gear ratio of the transmission, and when the support unit predicts or detects that the other vehicle is not in the space after the downshift control, the control unit controls the vehicle to be accelerated by driving power from the internal combustion engine.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
