VEHICLE TRAVELING CONTROL APPARATUS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle traveling control apparatus comprising:
- travel controlling means for controlling a driving force and a braking force of an own vehicle so as to keep the own vehicle traveling at a constant speed in accordance with a target speed without an accelerator pedal operation by a driver;
speed limit acquisition means for acquiring a speed limit of a road on which the own vehicle travels;
an operating unit which is operated by the driver; and
target speed setting means for setting the target speed to the speed limit when a long-push operation which is a push operation of the operating unit continued for a long-push completion time or more is detected in a situation in which the speed limit acquired by the speed limit acquisition means and the current target speed are different from each other,whereinthe target speed setting means comprises speed limit selecting means which selects,when the speed limit acquired by the speed limit acquisition means is switched from a first speed limit to a second speed limit in a period in which a push operation of the operating unit is being detected and a duration time of the push operation has not yet reached the long-push completion time,the second speed limit to set the target speed to the second speed limit at a time point at which the duration time of the push operation has reached the long-push completion time, thereafter.

Abstract
After a push operation of an operating unit is started (at time t1), when a speed limit acquired by a speed limit acquisition ECU is switched from a first speed limit (for example, 100 km/h) to a second speed limit (for example, 120 km/h) at time t2 in a period in which a duration time of the push operation has not yet reached a long-push completion time, a driving support ECU sets a target speed Vset to the second speed limit at a time point at which the duration time of the push operation has reached the long-push completion time thereafter (at time t3).

10. A vehicle traveling control apparatus comprising:
-
travel controlling means for controlling a driving force and a braking force of an own vehicle in such a manner that a vehicle speed of the own vehicle does not exceed an upper speed limit; speed limit acquisition means for acquiring a speed limit of a road on which the own vehicle travels; an operating unit which is operated by the driver; and upper speed limit setting means for setting the upper speed limit to the speed limit when a long-push operation which is a push operation of the operating unit continuing for a long-push completion time or more is detected, in a situation in which the speed limit acquired by the speed limit acquisition means and the current upper speed limit are different from each other, wherein the upper speed limit setting means comprises speed limit selecting means which selects, when the speed limit acquired by the speed limit acquisition means is switched from a first speed limit to a second speed limit in a period in which a push operation of the operating unit is being detected and a duration time of the push operation has not yet reached the long-push completion time, the second speed limit to set the target speed to the second speed limit at a time point at which the duration time of the push operation has reached the long-push completion time, thereafter.
