Abstract
A running control system for vehicles is provided to reduce engagement shocks of a clutch and to raise the torque of drive wheels quickly upon satisfaction of a condition of engagement of the clutch. In a vehicle to which the running control system is applied, power transmission between an engine and the drive wheels is selectively enabled by the clutch. The running control system is configured to raise a speed of the engine from an idling speed if the clutch is expected to be engaged during coasting where the clutch is in disengagement to interrupt a torque transmission between the engine and the drive wheels.
