Abstract

A vehicular braking/driving-force control apparatus includes an accelerator operation detection part configured to detect an accelerator operation; a driving-force limiting apparatus configured to carry out driving-force limiting control of limiting driving force of an own vehicle in such a manner that an upper-limit speed that is set will not be exceeded; an automatic braking control apparatus configured to carry out automatic braking control of automatically generating braking force in the own vehicle based on a relative distance or a relative speed between an obstacle in front of the own vehicle and the own vehicle, and have a cancellation function of inhibiting a start of the automatic braking control based on the accelerator operation; and a control part configured to inhibit the cancellation function from being executed when the driving-force limiting apparatus is in an activated state where the driving-force limiting apparatus is allowed to carry out the driving-force limiting control.

Claims16

Dependent claims

A vehicular braking/driving-force control apparatus comprising:

an accelerator operation detector to detect an accelerator operation;
and
one or more processors configured
to carry out driving-force limiting control of limiting driving force of an own vehicle in such a manner that an upper-limit speed that is set will not be exceeded,
to carry out automatic braking control of automatically generating braking force in the own vehicle based on a relative distance or a relative speed between an obstacle in front of the own vehicle and the own vehicle,
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to permit carrying out of the automatic braking control when the driving-force limiting control is being carried out and an intention of accelerating the own vehicle is not clear based on the accelerator operation, and
wherein the one or more processors are further configured to cancel a start of the automatic braking control when the driving-force limiting control is not being carried out and the intention of accelerating is clear based on the accelerator operation.
