Abstract
A device of the present disclosure controls a vehicle speed of a vehicle such that the vehicle speed matches a set vehicle speed when a preceding vehicle is not detected, and controls the vehicle speed of the vehicle such that the vehicle follows the preceding vehicle when the preceding vehicle is detected. The device controls the vehicle speed of the vehicle assuming that the preceding vehicle is not detected, when a condition that allows the vehicle to overtake the two-wheeled vehicle is satisfied and an intention of a driver to overtake a two-wheeled vehicle is detected, in a case where the two-wheeled vehicle is detected as the preceding vehicle and the vehicle speed is controlled such that the vehicle follows the two-wheeled vehicle.
Claims7
A driving support control device for a vehicle having four wheels, the driving support control device comprising:
- a preceding vehicle detection unit that detects a preceding vehicle in a path of the vehicle, the preceding vehicle detection unit being configured to determine whether the preceding vehicle is a four-wheeled vehicle or a two-wheeled vehicle;
- and
- a vehicle speed control unit configured to:
- when the preceding vehicle is not detected, control a vehicle speed of the vehicle such that the vehicle speed matches a set vehicle speed;
- when the preceding vehicle is detected and a vehicle speed of the preceding vehicle exceeds the set vehicle speed, control the vehicle speed of the vehicle such that the vehicle speed matches the set vehicle speed;
- and
- when the preceding vehicle is detected to be the two-wheeled vehicle and the vehicle speed of the preceding vehicle is lower than the set vehicle speed:
- determine whether conditions that allow the vehicle to overtake the preceding vehicle;
- determine whether an intention of a driver to overtake the preceding vehicle is detected;
- and
- cancel selection of the two-wheeled vehicle as the preceding vehicle and control the vehicle speed of the vehicle such that the vehicle speed matches the set vehicle speed, based on a determination that the conditions that allow the vehicle to overtake the preceding vehicle are satisfied and the intention of the driver to overtake the preceding vehicle is detected.
