Abstract
A constant speed control device for controlling a vehicle speed in a constant speed, the device comprising a vehicle speed sensor for detecting an actual vehicle speed and a steering angle detecting means for detecting a steering angle of the vehicle. A running condition setting member is provided for setting at least one of an aimed vehicle speed for the constant speed control, an activation and cancellation of the constant speed control. A control member is provided for calculating controlled variables of the vehicle speed for the constant speed control on the basis of the steering angle and a deviation between the actual vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor and the aimed vehicle speed set by the running condition setting means, to perform the constant speed control. On the basis of at least one predetermined threshold of the steering angle information, the control member reduces the aimed vehicle speed and performs the constant speed control or cancels the constant speed control.
