VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle control system comprising:
- an inter-vehicle distance control section configured to perform a follow-up control to a preceding vehicle by automatically accelerating or decelerating a host vehicle, or a constant speed running control section configured to perform a constant speed running to converge to a set speed;
a brake operating state sensing device arranged to sense a brake operating state of a driver; and
a control unit including;
a deceleration control section configured to perform a deceleration in accordance with the brake operating state of the driver when the brake operating state sensing device senses the brake operation of the driver during the inter-vehicle distance control or the constant speed running control; and
an acceleration control limit section configured to cancel a control in the acceleration direction which is performed by the inter-vehicle distance control or the constant speed control when the brake operating state sensing device senses an end of the brake operation of the driver.

14. A vehicle control system comprising:
-
an accelerator operating state sensing device arranged to sense an accelerator operating state of a driver; a brake operating state sensing device arranged to sense a brake operating state of the driver; an inter-vehicle distance control section configured to perform an inter-vehicle distance control to start a follow-up control to hold a predetermined inter-vehicle distance between a host vehicle and a preceding vehicle when the accelerator operating state sensing section senses a decreasing direction of an accelerator operating amount; a deceleration section configured to perform a deceleration control in accordance with the brake operating state of the driver when the brake operating state sensing device senses the brake operation; and an acceleration control limit section configured to cancel a control in the acceleration direction which is performed by the inter-vehicle distance control when the brake operating state sensing section senses an end of the brake operation. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
