Abstract
The footrest force of the footrest function attached to a vehicle braking pedal is adjusted by a driver's-lad estimation device for deciding a footrest force corresponding to an individual driver and correspondingly to a load computed by the load estimation device. A detection device for detecting whether the present vehicle presently corners is used to change the set speed of the vehicle in accordance with the radius of a corner.
Claims9
A running controller for controlling a running condition of a vehicle in accordance with an operating amount or an operating force of a pedal for carrying out a braking operation, said pedal having a footrest function which does not carry out said braking operation when a predetermined load is received, wherein said controller is configured such that
- said footrest force of said footrest function is determined in accordance with a load measurement value in which a load being added to said pedal is measured and a footrest force estimation force value which is calculated from said load measurement value.
