Abstract

An acceleration control system stores a target acceleration calculation equation acquired by transforming an equation that expresses that a product of the differentiation of the square power of the speed and the environmental factor αrepresents a sensed value ε of acceleration. A surrounding environment monitor device detects surrounding bodies present in the forward periphery of the vehicle, and an environmental factor calculation unit calculates the environmental factor αby using the detected positions of the surrounding bodies. A target acceleration setting unit successively sets target accelerations ain compliance with the target acceleration calculation equation by using the environmental factor α. The acceleration is executed to match the driver's feeling.
