VEHICLE CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicle control device controlling a vehicle so as to follow a preceding vehicle performing an inversion control, the vehicle control device comprising:
- a communication unit that receives a vehicle speed of the preceding vehicle and an operation amount of a maneuvering device that maneuvers the preceding vehicle;
an inter-vehicle distance sensor that measures an inter-vehicle distance between the preceding vehicle and the vehicle following the preceding vehicle; and
computation means that computes an acceleration command value of the vehiclefollowing the preceding vehicle, whereinthe computation means sets one of a first acceleration command value, which is computed based on the vehicle speed of the preceding vehicle received by the communication unit and the inter-vehicle distance measured by the inter-vehicle distance sensor, and a second acceleration command value, which is computed based on the operation amount of the maneuvering device received by the communication unit, as a target acceleration command value.

Abstract
To provide a vehicle control device that improves the accuracy of an automatic follow-up control in an inverted pendulum vehicle, a vehicle control device according to the present invention performs an automatic follow-up running control in an inverted pendulum vehicle so as to automatically follow a preceding vehicle. The vehicle control device is characterized by including: a communication unit that receives running condition data from the preceding vehicle regarding a vehicle speed and a joystick operation amount of the preceding vehicle; an inter-vehicle distance sensor that measures an inter-vehicle distance with the preceding vehicle; and a main control ECU that computes an acceleration command value for following the preceding vehicle, wherein the main control ECU sets one of a first acceleration command value, which is computed based on the vehicle speed of the preceding vehicle acquired through the communication unit and the inter-vehicle distance measured by the inter-vehicle distance sensor, and a second acceleration command value, which is computed based on the joystick operation amount acquired through the communication unit, as a target acceleration command value.
