Abstract
An automatic brake control system produces a warning before automatically making the braking action of a driving vehicle according to the velocities of the driving vehicle and the vehicle ahead. The system calculates the desired vehicle distance according to the velocities of the driving vehicle and the vehicle ahead, and sets a warning distance which is longer than the desired vehicle distance. The warning distance is set in accordance with the driver's feeling. According to the present invention, the system is prevented from producing undesirable warning.
