Abstract
A travel speed limiting apparatus including: a travel speed measurement device which measures a travel speed of a vehicle; a speed limit memory device which stores a speed limit set by an operator; a first driving force limit value calculation device which calculates a first driving force limit value based on a deviation of the travel speed from the speed limit; a requested driving force calculation device which calculates a requested driving force based on an operator's acceleration operation; and a second driving force limit value calculation device which calculates a second driving force limit value based on the requested driving force, wherein the driving force limiting device sets an eventual driving force limit value to the smaller of the first driving force limit value and the second driving force limit value, and controls the driving force of the vehicle to be less than the eventual driving force limit value.
