Deceleration control apparatus for vehicle
First Claim
1. A deceleration control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
- a controller configured to perform deceleration control before the vehicle reaches a starting point of an upcoming curve, based on one of a first target declaration control and a second target declaration control,wherein the first target deceleration control is determined based on a distance to the starting point of the upcoming curve, when the deceleration control for the curve is started at a position distant from the starting point of the curve; and
the second target deceleration control is determined based on a lateral acceleration that is estimated to be detected when the vehicle passes the starting point of the curve, when the deceleration control for the curve is started at a position close to and before the starting point of the curve,wherein deceleration amounts of the first target deceleration control are determined based on the distance to the starting point of the curve, and wherein deceleration amounts of the second target deceleration control are not determined based on the distance to the starting point of the curve.

Abstract
A deceleration control apparatus for a vehicle including a controller that performs deceleration control based on a first target deceleration set based on a distance to a starting point of an upcoming curve, when the deceleration control for the curve is started at a position distant from the starting point of the curve; and that performs the deceleration control based on a second target deceleration set based on a lateral acceleration that is estimated to be detected when the vehicle passes the starting point of the curve, when the deceleration control for the curve is started at a position close to the starting point of the curve. With this apparatus, it is possible to perform the deceleration control that provides drive assist according to the intention of the driver and that enhances driving convenience for the driver.

12. A deceleration control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a controller configured to start a deceleration control based on one of a first or a second target deceleration before the vehicle enters an upcoming curve, wherein the controller is configured to set at least one first deceleration amount according to a first target deceleration control, and wherein the at least one first deceleration amount is determined based on a distance to a starting point of the upcoming curve when the deceleration control is started at a position distant from the starting point of the curve, and the controller is configured to set at least one second deceleration amount according to a second target deceleration control, wherein the at least one second deceleration amount is determined based on a lateral acceleration that is estimated to be detected when the vehicle passes the starting point of the curve when the deceleration control is started at a position close to and before the starting point of the curve, and wherein the at least one second deceleration amount of the second target deceleration control is not determined based on the distance to the starting point of the curve. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
