First Claim
Patent Images
1. A deceleration control apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a speed sensor for detecting an actual vehicular speed; and
a controller operable to;
set a target vehicular speed calculated based on a turning condition of the vehicle and a lateral acceleration limitation value;
apply deceleration to the vehicle based on the actual vehicular speed and the target vehicular speed; and
correct the deceleration of the vehicle based on information of a curve in a path of the vehicle.

Abstract
A deceleration control apparatus and method for controlling deceleration of a vehicle where a controller is operable to set a target vehicular speed calculated based on a turning condition of the vehicle and a lateral acceleration limitation value. The controller is also operable to apply deceleration to the vehicle based on the actual vehicular speed and the target vehicular speed and to correct the deceleration used when the vehicle is traveling along a detected curve. Correcting the deceleration can be done by, for example, correcting the lateral acceleration limitation value.
