Abstract
A vehicle speed limit apparatus includes a processor configured to calculate a demand value, calculate a pre-correction upper limit value based on a limit acceleration, correct the pre-correction upper limit value based on a first accumulated value to calculate a first upper limit value, correct the pre-correction upper limit value based on a maximum drive force of a drive force generation apparatus and the current acceleration to calculate a second upper limit value, select the smaller of the demand value and the second upper limit value when the first upper limit value exceeds a predetermined threshold corresponding to the maximum drive force, and select the smaller of the demand value and the first upper limit value when the first upper limit value does not exceed the predetermined threshold, and control the drive force generation apparatus to generate the drive force corresponding to the selected value.
