METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AUTOMATIC STOP AND START OF VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for optimally controlling a distance between a control vehicle and a leading vehicle running ahead of the control vehicle in a system for controlling a distance between vehicles that enables automatic stop and start, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) controlling, in response to the leading vehicle'"'"'s deceleration, deceleration of the control vehicle by considering a relative acceleration, a relative speed and a relative distance of the control vehicle with respect to the leading vehicle;
b) controlling stop speed of the control vehicle so that the control vehicle approaches the leading vehicle at a constant speed without stopping;
c) controlling the control vehicle to stop smoothly exactly at a position spaced from the leading vehicle by a predetermined stop distance; and
d) controlling the start of the control vehicle after determining whether the leading vehicle has started or moved forward.
