VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL APPARATUS, AND VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A vehicle speed control apparatus, comprising one or more processors configured to carry out:
- generating a speed command value to control a vehicle speed according to a detected treading amount of an accelerator pedal;
determining an upper-limit speed of the vehicle according to a determined speed limit of a road;
generating a limit command value to control the vehicle speed to be the upper-limit speed determined by the determining; and
adjusting the vehicle speed according to one of the speed command value and the limit command value to cause the lower vehicle speed,whereinif the determining updates the upper-limit speed due to a change in the speed limit of the road while the adjusting is adjusting the vehicle speed according to the limit command value, the adjusting limits a rate of change of the vehicle speed continuously until a predetermined timing.

Abstract
A vehicle speed control apparatus generate a speed command value to control a vehicle speed according to a detected treading amount of an accelerator pedal, determines an upper-limit speed of the vehicle according to a speed limit of a road, generates a limit command value to control the vehicle speed to be the upper-limit speed, and adjusts the vehicle speed according to one of the speed command value and the limit command value to cause the lower vehicle speed. If the upper-limit speed is updated due to a change in the speed limit of the road while the vehicle speed is being adjusted according to the limit command value, a rate of change of the vehicle speed is limited continuously until a predetermined timing.
