Abstract
A vehicle-to-vehicle distance control device includes a delay distance calculation unit and a delay distance compensation unit. In a running scene in which the velocity of a leading vehicle changes, a delay distance generated owing to a delay in a vehicle velocity control unit is calculated, and, while a delay distance compensation vehicle velocity command to compensate for the delay distance is considered for a vehicle velocity command, an actual vehicle-to-vehicle distance is controlled to be matched with a target track from an initial value of the vehicle-to-vehicle distance until arrival at a target vehicle-to-vehicle distance obtained after the leading vehicle accelerates/decelerates.
