VEHICLE TRAVEL CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicle travel control device that converges a velocity of a vehicle to a preset first target velocity, the device comprising:
- a designating unit that designates a reduction range in the velocity based on vehicle traveling condition information obtained in advance including at least one of information related to driver'"'"'s operation, the velocity, and a road surface gradient when the velocity of the vehicle is higher than the first target velocity; and
a setting unit that sets a second target velocity lower than the first target velocity based on the reduction range designated by the designating unit and the first target velocity, whereinthe velocity of the vehicle is converged to the second target velocity set by the setting unit and then converged to the first target velocity,the information related to the driver'"'"'s operation includes information related to at least one of an operation amount of a brake pedal, an operation change amount of the accelerator pedal, and a steering angle operation amount of a steering,the designating unit designates a small value for the reduction range when the operation amount of the brake pedal is large, designates a large value for the reduction range when the operation change amount of the accelerator pedal is large, and designates a large value for the reduction range when the steering angle operation amount of the steering is large, andthe velocity of the vehicle is converged to the second target velocity set by the setting unit and then converged to the first target velocity.

Abstract
An ECU designates a value of a variation “Vunder” based on at least one of information about driver'"'"'s operation, a velocity, and a road surface gradient when an actual velocity “V” is higher than a target velocity, sets a value of a variation “Vtarget” based on the designated value of the variation “Vunder” and the target velocity, adjusts the velocity of the vehicle to the velocity of the set value of the variation “Vtarget”, and determines whether the actual velocity “V” after the adjustment is a value not greater than the value of the variation “Vtarget”. Then, the ECU converges the velocity of the vehicle to the target velocity after it has been determined that the actual velocity “V” after the adjustment is a value not greater than the value of the variation “Vtarget”.
