Abstract
An adaptive cruise control system for a host vehicle is arranged to calculate a target vehicle speed, to calculate a target driving force based on the target vehicle speed, to limit a rate of increase of the target driving force when a direction of a wheel driving torque applied to driving wheels is changed from a decelerating direction to an accelerating direction, and to control a throttle opening of an engine based on the limited target driving force.

14. An adaptive cruise control system for a host vehicle, comprising:
-
a vehicle speed detector for detecting a host-vehicle speed;
an inter-vehicle distance detector for detecting an inter-vehicle distance between the host vehicle and a preceding vehicle ahead of the host vehicle; and
a controller coupled to the inter-vehicle distance detector and the vehicle speed detector, the controller being configured, to calculate a target vehicle speed on the basis of the host vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance, to calculate a target driving force on the basis of the target vehicle speed, to control a driving force on the basis of the target driving force, and to limit a magnitude of a rate of change of the target driving force within a first predetermined value.
