1. An adaptive cruise control system for a host vehicle, comprising:
- a preceding vehicle detecting device detecting a preceding vehicle ahead of the host vehicle;
a vehicle speed detecting device detecting a host vehicle speed of the host vehicle; and
a controller coupled to the preceding vehicle detecting device and the vehicle speed detecting device, the controller being arranged to execute a vehicle speed control of the host vehicle on the basis of detection results of the preceding vehicle detecting device and the vehicle speed detecting device, and to cancel the vehicle speed control when the preceding vehicle detecting device is incapable of detecting the preceding vehicle.

Abstract
An adaptive cruise control system for a host vehicle is comprised of a radar device for detecting a distance between the host vehicle and a preceding vehicle, a vehicle speed sensor for detecting a vehicle speed of the host vehicle and a controller for executing a host vehicle speed control based on the distance and the host vehicle speed. The controller cancels the host vehicle speed control when the radar device loses sight of the preceding vehicle.

14. A method of controlling an adaptive cruise of a host vehicle, comprising:
-
detecting a preceding vehicle ahead of the host vehicle;
detecting a host vehicle speed of the host vehicle;
executing a vehicle speed control for controlling the host vehicle speed on the basis of a detected state of the preceding vehicle and the detected host vehicle speed; and
canceling the vehicle speed control when the preceding vehicle is incapable of being detected.

15. An adaptive cruise control system for a host vehicle, comprising:
-
preceding vehicle detecting means for detecting a preceding vehicle ahead of the host vehicle;
host vehicle speed detecting means for detecting a vehicle speed of the host vehicle;
host vehicle speed controlling means for controlling the vehicle speed of the host vehicle on the basis of detection result of the preceding vehicle detecting means and the host vehicle speed detecting means; and
speed control canceling means for canceling the speed control of the host vehicle speed controlling means when the preceding vehicle detecting means is incapable of detecting the preceding vehicle.
