Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a more practical ACC system. During a travel of a vehicle, an image processor successively extracts geometric feature values of image patterns of a leading vehicle from image data successively outputted from a camera device mounted at the front of the vehicle. When a travel start detector detects a travel of the vehicle, a reference parameter value setting process section of a microcomputer sets a geometric feature value of an image pattern of the leading vehicle extracted at appropriate timing as a reference parameter value. Thereafter, each time a geometric feature value of the image pattern of the leading vehicle is extracted, a target driving force calculation process section calculates a target driving force Ttar for reducing any difference between the geometric feature value and the value set as the reference parameter value. A vehicle controller supplies to controllers a control command in accordance with the target driving force.
