To appropriately control an inter-vehicular distance in accordance with a road situation.SOLUTION: A vehicular speed control apparatus includes: an inter-vehicular distance detection part for detecting an inter-vehicular distance L between a vehicle itself VC2 and a preceding vehicle VC1 traveling ahead thereof; a vehicular speed control part for controlling a vehicular speed of the vehicle itself so that the inter-vehicular distance detected by the inter-vehicular distance detection part approaches a predetermined target inter-vehicular distance; and a road characteristic detection part for detecting a road characteristic of a road ahead of the vehicle itself. The vehicular speed control part changes the target inter-vehicular distance on the basis of the road characteristic detected by the road characteristic detection part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】道路状況に応じて車間距離を適切に制御する。【解決手段】車速制御装置は、自車VC2とその前方を走行する前車VC1との間の車間距離Lを検出する車間距離検出部と、車間距離検出部により検出された車間距離が、予め設定された目標車間距離に近づくよう、自車の車速を制御するように構成された車速制御部と、自車の前方道路の道路特性を検出する道路特性検出部とを備える。車速制御部は、道路特性検出部により検出された道路特性に基づいて、目標車間距離を変更する。【選択図】図1
