Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
When a preceding vehicle in front of a host vehicle reduces speed, other vehicles between the preceding vehicle and a system-mounted vehicle successively reduces speed. An ECU and an ACC control the traveling of the system-mounted vehicle on the basis of prediction information of speed reduction propagation when the system-mounted vehicle reduces speed such that the system-mounted vehicle and an ordinary vehicle immediately in front of the system-mounted vehicle have a predetermined relative positional relationship. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the speed reduction propagation between the preceding vehicle and the system-mounted vehicle in advance, making it possible to more effectively suppress congestion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle control device comprising: an information acquisition unit which acquires prediction information of speed reduction propagation when a preceding vehicle in front of a host vehicle has a speed reduction, the preceding vehicle being capable of wirelessly communicating with the host vehicle, the prediction information including prediction how other vehicles between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle would successively reduce speed, and h…
