Estimating the term…
A vehicle cruising control device has a vehicle-position/traveling-direction calculating circuit 21 which receives data from a GPS signal receiver 11, a vehicle speed sensor 12, an angular-velocity sensor 13 and a map data base 30 to specify a road on which the vehicle is traveling and a road property gain circuit 23 which gains a sort of road from the map data base 30, as road property. In the device, a driving force control unit 40 controls a vehicle driving unit 50 on the ground of the sort of road. If the map matching becomes to be improper, then the road property gain circuit 23 operates to maintain the road property just before malfunction of the map matching until a traveling-distance after malfunction of the map matching reaches a predetermined distance. The traveling-distance is calculated by a traveling-distance calculating circuit 22.
