Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2022/196671
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides an inter-vehicle distance determination device and an inter-vehicle distance determination method that can suppress energy consumption when following travel is carried out. The inter-vehicle distance determination device is installed in a vehicle that follows a preceding vehicle while maintaining an inter-vehicle distance set on the basis of a set vehicle speed, and includes: a calculation unit that calculates the amount of energy consumed by the vehicle on the basis of the set vehicle speed and the amount of wind caused by the travel and received by the vehicle for each case in which each of a plurality of predetermined inter-vehicle distances for following travel is selected; and a selection unit that selects, from among the plurality of inter-vehicle distances, the inter-vehicle distance that corresponds to the lowest energy consumption amount from among the calculated plurality of energy consumption amounts as the set inter-vehicle distance.
