Deceleration control apparatus for vehicle

A deceleration control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:

• a controller configured to start a deceleration control based on one of a first or a second target deceleration before the vehicle enters an upcoming curve,
• wherein the controller is configured to set at least one first deceleration amount according to a first target deceleration control, and wherein the at least one first deceleration amount is determined based on a distance to a starting point of the upcoming curve when the deceleration control is started at a position distant from the starting point of the curve, and
• the controller is configured to set at least one second deceleration amount according to a second target deceleration control, wherein the at least one second deceleration amount is determined based on a lateral acceleration that is estimated to be detected when the vehicle passes the starting point of the curve when the deceleration control is started at a position close to and before the starting point of the curve, and wherein the at least one second deceleration amount of the second target deceleration control is not determined based on the distance to the starting point of the curve.
