Abstract
The present invention is intended to make it possible to automatically drive a test object without performing pre-learning for a running performance map for each vehicle. There is provided an automatic test object driving device that automatically drives a test vehicle based on a command vehicle speed, and that includes a driving actuator for performing driving operation of the test vehicle, and a driving control unit for controlling the driving actuator. The driving control unit includes a first accelerator map and a second accelerator map each of which indicates a relationship among a vehicle-speed-related value, an acceleration-related value, and an accelerator-depression-amount-related value. The driving control unit uses the first accelerator map to determine an accelerator depression amount corresponding to the command vehicle speed, and uses the second accelerator map to correct the accelerator depression amount by feeding back a vehicle speed and an acceleration of the test vehicle.
