Abstract: Disclosed is a driving support control device (ECU) 10 capable of controlling a vehicle 1 in accordance with any one selected from plural driving support modes by a driver. The driving support control device 10 is configured to temporally repeatedly calculate a target traveling course (R1 to R3) along which the vehicle 1 should travel, and to, in a given one (preceding vehicle following mode) of the driving support modes, execute control of causing the vehicle 1 to travel on and along the target traveling course, wherein the driving support control device 10 is operable, in a situation where a current position of the vehicle 1 deviates beyond a given distance dth laterally from the target traveling course, to, even when the driver selects the given driving support mode, prohibit transition to the given driving support mode.

Abstract: The driving support control device is configured to, when a preceding vehicle is detected (S24: YES), be permitted to cause a transition to the preceding vehicle following mode, in response to a manipulation made by the driver to select the preceding vehicle following mode (S27), and then control the vehicle 1 to follow the preceding vehicle, and to, when edges of a traveling road are detected even though no preceding vehicle is detected (S25: YES), be permitted to cause the transition to the preceding vehicle following mode, in response to the manipulation made by the driver to select the preceding vehicle following mode (S26), and then control the vehicle 1 to travel on and along a given target traveling course set based on the edges of the traveling road.

Abstract: A driving support control device 10 controls a vehicle 1 in accordance with one driving support mode selected by a driver, and configured to, in a preceding vehicle following mode or an automatic speed control mode as a given driving support mode, execute control of causing the vehicle 1 to travel at a target speed, and further configured to detect an obstacle, and set a speed distribution zone 40 defining a distribution zone of an allowable upper limit Vlim of a relative speed of the vehicle 1 with respect to the obstacle, and to execute obstacle avoidance control of preventing the relative speed from exceeding Vlim, wherein the driving support control device 10 is operable, when the target speed is being restricted by the obstacle avoidance control, to prohibit a driving support mode transition.

Abstract: Disclosed is a driving support control device (ECU) (10) capable of controlling a vehicle (1) in accordance with any one selected from plural driving support modes by a driver. The ECU (10) is configured to temporally repeatedly calculate a target traveling course (first to third traveling courses R1 to R3) along which the vehicle (1) should travel, and to, in a preceding vehicle following mode, execute control of causing the vehicle (1) to travel on and along the target traveling course, wherein the ECU (10) is operable, when the target traveling course includes a section having a curvature radius r less than a given curvature radius rth, to prohibit transition to the preceding vehicle following mode, even if the driver selects the preceding vehicle following mode.

Abstract: Disclosed is a vehicle control device (ECU) (10) having plural driving support modes, comprising: an obstacle information detection part (10b) for detecting obstacle information; a traveling regulation information detection part (10c) for detecting traveling regulation information; and a traveling course calculation part (10d) for calculating a future traveling course comprising a target position and a target speed of the vehicle, wherein the calculation part (10d) is operable to: execute, without taking into account the obstacle information, traveling course calculation processing (S13) of calculating traveling courses temporally repeatedly; execute, based on a selected driving support mode, traveling course selection processing (S14) of selecting one of the traveling courses as a target traveling course; and execute, based on the obstacle information and/or the traveling regulation information, traveling course correction processing (S15) of correcting the target traveling course selected in the traveling c
