Abstract
A vehicle control device controls a vehicle. The control device includes circuitry configured to: detect a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels based on peripheral information on the vehicle obtained by an external sensor that the vehicle has; present a user of the vehicle, as a suggested speed, either a first speed based on the detected speed limit or a second speed set by the user; and perform travel control of controlling a travel speed of the vehicle in response to the user's approval of the suggested speed, in which the suggested speed is set as a target speed.

A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle, the control device comprising circuitry configured to:
- detect a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels based on peripheral information on the vehicle obtained by an external sensor that the vehicle has;
- present a user of the vehicle, as a suggested speed, either a first speed based on the detected speed limit or a second speed set by the user;
- and
- perform travel control of controlling a travel speed of the vehicle in response to the user's approval of the suggested speed, in which the suggested speed is set as a target speed, wherein
- the circuitry is configured to present the user the first speed as the suggested speed when the speed limit of the road on which the vehicle travels is different from a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels when a previous travel control is suspended or ended, the previous travel control being suspended or terminated just before the travel control currently being performed.
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle, the control device comprising circuitry configured to:
- detect a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels based on peripheral information on the vehicle obtained by an external sensor that the vehicle has;
- present a user of the vehicle, as a suggested speed, either a first speed based on the detected speed limit or a second speed set by the user;
- and
- perform travel control of controlling a travel speed of the vehicle in response to the user's approval of the suggested speed, in which the suggested speed is set as a target speed, wherein
- the second speed is a target speed of a previous travel control that is suspended or terminated just before the travel control currently being performed, and
- the circuitry is configured to present the user the second speed as the suggested speed when the speed limit of the road on which the vehicle travels is the same as a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels when the previous travel control is suspended or ended just before the travel control currently being performed.
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle, the control device comprising circuitry configured to:
- detect a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels based on peripheral information on the vehicle obtained by an external sensor that the vehicle has;
- present a user of the vehicle, as a suggested speed, either a first speed based on the detected speed limit or a second speed set by the user;
- and
- perform travel control of controlling a travel speed of the vehicle in response to the user's approval of the suggested speed, in which the suggested speed is set as a target speed, wherein
- the second speed is a target speed of a previous travel control that is suspended or terminated just before the travel control currently being performed, and
- the circuitry is configured to present the user the second speed as the suggested speed when the second speed deviates by a predetermined value or more from a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels when the previous travel control is suspended or ended just before the travel control currently being performed.
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle, the control device comprising circuitry configured to:
- detect a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels based on peripheral information on the vehicle obtained by an external sensor that the vehicle has;
- present a user of the vehicle, as a suggested speed, either a first speed based on the detected speed limit or a second speed set by the user;
- and
- perform travel control of controlling a travel speed of the vehicle in response to the user's approval of the suggested speed, in which the suggested speed is set as a target speed, wherein
- the circuitry is configured to change a presentation time of the suggested speed depending on a difference between the suggested speed and a travel speed of the vehicle when the suggested speed is presented to the user.
A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle, the control device comprising circuitry configured to:
- detect a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle travels based on peripheral information on the vehicle obtained by an external sensor that the vehicle has;
- present a user of the vehicle, as a suggested speed, either a first speed based on the detected speed limit or a second speed set by the user;
- and
- perform travel control of controlling a travel speed of the vehicle in response to the user's approval of the suggested speed, in which the suggested speed is set as a target speed, wherein
- if a preceding vehicle traveling in front of the vehicle is present and a speed of the preceding vehicle is higher than the first speed and the second speed, the circuitry is configured to present the user a third speed based on the speed of the preceding vehicle as a suggested speed.
