Abstract: The vehicle control device 100 comprising: a control part (ECU 10) for executing vehicle speed control for a vehicle 1 during execution of a driving support mode; a speed limit recognition part (ECU 10, navigation device 26) for acquiring a speed limit of a traveling road 3; and a traveling vehicle detection part (ECU 10) for acquiring an inter-vehicle distance and/or a relative speed with respect to a second vehicle (2a, 2b) being traveling forward/rearward of the vehicle 1, wherein the control part (ECU 10) increases/decreases the vehicle speed of the vehicle 1 to the speed limit, during the vehicle speed control, wherein the control part (ECU 10) is operable to set an acceleration/deceleration during the vehicle speed control, according to the inter-vehicle distance and/or the relative speed with respect to the second vehicle (2a, 2b) (S13 to S22).

Abstract: Provide a vehicle control device capable of facilitating input manipulation for a setup vehicle speed to be used in a driving support mode. The vehicle control device 100 comprises a control part operable to execute vehicle speed control according to a setup vehicle speed, a manipulation unit 24, and a speed limit recognition part operable to acquire a speed limit, and the manipulation unit 24 comprises a resume switch 24g, and wherein the control part is operable, in response to manipulation of the resume switch 24g during the standby state, to select and store a vehicle speed value as the setup vehicle speed (S22, S29) in different manners between a situation where the setup vehicle speed is currently stored (S20; YES), and a situation where no setup vehicle speed is currently stored (S20; NO).

Abstract: A brake device includes: a battery connected to a power supply line; a fluid pressure unit driven by power from the supply line and applies fluid pressure to a brake; an alternator that receives power from a vehicle engine and generates power at a voltage higher than a charged voltage of the battery; a capacitor that stores the power generated by the alternator; and a DC/DC converter that converts the voltage of the capacitor to a predetermined value and supplies the converted voltage to the supply line. When the vehicle will potentially collide with a forward obstacle, an output of the DC/DC converter is set at a target higher than an output voltage in a normal state before brake actuation, or if output of the DC/DC converter cannot be set at the target voltage, the alternator is driven to connect a generation voltage of the alternator to the supply line.
