Abstract
A vehicle driving control device comprising a deceleration control device that controls deceleration of a vehicle, and a driving support ECU configured to execute deceleration support control such that the vehicle is automatically decelerated by the deceleration control device when it is determined that it is necessary to decelerate the vehicle based on the driving conditions of the vehicle in a situation where a deceleration support control switch is on, in which the driving support ECU executes the deceleration support control when it is determined that alertness level of a driver is equal to or less than a threshold value in a situation where the deceleration support control switch is off.
Claims11
A vehicle driving control device comprising:
- a deceleration control device that controls deceleration of a vehicle;
- and an electronic control unit configured to execute deceleration support control that automatically decelerates the vehicle by the deceleration control device when it is determined that it is necessary to decelerate the vehicle based on driving conditions of the vehicle in a situation where a deceleration support control switch is on;
- wherein
- the electronic control unit is configured to execute the deceleration support control when it is determined that alertness level of a driver is equal to or less than a threshold value in a situation where the deceleration support control switch is off.
A vehicle driving control method that comprises executing deceleration support control to automatically decelerate a vehicle when it is determined that it is necessary to decelerate the vehicle based on driving conditions of the vehicle in a situation where a deceleration support control switch is on, wherein
- the vehicle driving control method further comprises executing the deceleration support control when it is determined that alertness level of a driver is equal to or less than a threshold value in a situation where the deceleration support control switch is off.
