Vehicular traveling control apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A vehicular traveling control apparatus, comprising:
- a vehicular forward substance detecting section that detects a forward substance located in a forward direction of the vehicle;
a vehicular travel controlling section that performs a vehicular travel control on the basis of a relative positional relationship between the forward substance detected by the vehicular forward substance detecting section and the vehicle;
an impulse detecting section that detects such an impulse that a detection range of the vehicular forward substance detecting section is varied has been applied to the vehicular forward detecting section; and
a traveling control inhibiting section that inhibits the vehicular traveling control by means of the vehicular travel controlling section when the impulse detecting section detects that the impulse has been applied to the vehicular forward substance detecting section.

Abstract
In vehicular traveling control apparatus and method, comprising: a vehicular forward substance detecting section of a laser radar type is provided to detect a forward substance located in a forward direction of the vehicle, a vehicular travel control is performed on the basis of a relative positional relationship between the forward substance detected by the vehicular forward substance detecting section and the vehicle, such an impulse that a detection range of the vehicular forward substance detecting section is varied has been applied to the vehicular forward detecting section is detected, and the vehicular traveling control is inhibited when detecting that the impulse has been applied to the vehicular forward substance detecting section.

19. A vehicular traveling control apparatus, comprising:
-
vehicular forward substance detecting means for detecting a forward substance located in a forward direction of the vehicle;
vehicular travel controlling means for performing a vehicular travel control on the basis of a relative positional relationship between the forward substance detected by the vehicular forward substance detecting means and the vehicle;
impulse detecting means for detecting such an impulse that a detection range of the vehicular forward substance detecting means is varied has been applied to the vehicular forward detecting section; and
traveling control inhibiting means for inhibiting the vehicular traveling control by means of the vehicular travel controlling means when the impulse detecting section detects that the impulse has been applied to the vehicular forward substance detecting means.
