  • Publication number: 20170072953
    Abstract: A control apparatus of a vehicle for causing an own vehicle to travel following a preceding vehicle calculates a requested acceleration of the own vehicle on the basis of a feedback requested acceleration to maintain an inter-vehicle distance at a target distance and a feedforward requested acceleration to cause the own vehicle to travel following the preceding vehicle. The apparatus calculates the feedforward requested acceleration on the basis of information on an acceleration of the preceding vehicle sent from the preceding vehicle through a wireless communication. The apparatus sets the feedforward requested acceleration to zero when a vehicle travel stabilization control is executed in the preceding vehicle to control a friction braking force applied to at least one of vehicle wheels of the preceding vehicle to stabilize a travel of the preceding vehicle, and the feedforward requested acceleration is larger than zero.

  • Publication number: 20170072956
    Abstract: A control apparatus of a vehicle that calculates a feedback requested acceleration for maintaining an inter-vehicle distance to a target distance and a feedforward requested acceleration for causing the own vehicle to travel following a communicating preceding vehicle and calculates a requested acceleration of the own vehicle on the basis of the feedback and feedforward requested accelerations. The apparatus executes a control that causes the own vehicle to travel following the preceding vehicle by controlling the acceleration of the own vehicle such that the acceleration of the own vehicle corresponds to the requested acceleration of the own vehicle. The apparatus sets the feedforward requested acceleration to zero when a shift lever of the preceding vehicle is positioned at a shift position other than a shift position that causes the preceding vehicle to travel forward and the feedforward requested acceleration is larger than zero.

  • Publication number: 20150178247
    Abstract: A preceding vehicle detection device according to one embodiment of the invention includes a data obtaining member and a specifying member to specify a preceding vehicle among other vehicles. The data obtaining member obtains a driving status amount data of one of the other vehicles running right in front of an own vehicle by using a detection device of the own vehicle, and a driving status amount data of each of the other vehicles by using an inter-vehicle communication. The specifying member obtains statistical amounts representing a data similarity and preceding vehicle probabilities based on each of the statistical amounts and a predetermined relationship. Then, the detection device calculates a final preceding vehicle probability for each of the other vehicles based on the preceding vehicle probabilities, and specifies the preceding vehicle based on the final preceding vehicle probability.
