Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a preceding vehicle is present, a following control is performed so as to have an inter-vehicle distance corresponding to the traveling speed of the preceding vehicle, and when there is no preceding vehicle, a constant speed running at a set vehicle speed is performed. Distance control devices have been put to practical use. By using such a device, the burden on the driver when the vehicle travels is reduced.

設定しなければならず、煩わしい。When the following control of a preceding vehicle is performed using this type of device, for example, when the own vehicle or the preceding vehicle changes lanes and there is no preceding vehicle in front of the own vehicle, the own vehicle is controlled at the set vehicle speed. Entering constant speed driving, smooth driving can be continued. However, on a highway or the like, if a merging vehicle appears from the junction of the interchange or the service area while following the preceding vehicle, the following control of the preceding vehicle may not be advantageous in terms of vehicle running. For example, if the preceding vehicle changes lanes in order to avoid a merging vehicle that is trying to enter the main line, deceleration is normally required to maintain the distance to the merging vehicle that newly enters the main line. There are many. Nevertheless, since the preceding vehicle is no longer changing lanes, the vehicle operates to accelerate to the set vehicle speed,
There is a disadvantage that the driver is forced to operate the brake. Also, if a merging vehicle interrupts between the preceding vehicle and the vehicle during the following control of the preceding vehicle, the driver operates the brake to release the following control, and then the merging vehicle that has moved to the main line As a car, the inter-vehicle distance control must be set again, which is troublesome.

This device predicts the presence or absence of a merging vehicle at a merging portion from the behavior of a preceding vehicle when approaching the merging portion, and attempts to perform acceleration / deceleration control of the own vehicle. This device is provided with preceding vehicle monitoring means for monitoring the behavior of the preceding vehicle. Then, for example, when the preceding vehicle accelerates when approaching the junction, the vehicle speed is controlled so as to increase the inter-vehicle distance with the preceding vehicle, and the junction vehicle is entered. If the preceding vehicle changes lanes when approaching the junction, acceleration is prohibited and the merging vehicle is allowed to enter a vacant place due to the lane change of the preceding vehicle.

る。However, since the above-mentioned device does not directly monitor and control the merging vehicle, it may not be possible to accurately control the traveling of the vehicle at the merging portion. For example, when the preceding vehicle is traveling at a constant speed without accelerating when approaching the junction, the merging vehicle may intervene between the preceding vehicle and the host vehicle. in this case,
Since there is no change in the behavior of the preceding vehicle, the own vehicle continues to follow the preceding vehicle. For this reason, the own vehicle suddenly approaches the merged vehicle that has been interrupted, and the driver is forced to operate the brake to avoid danger. In addition, it is common for the preceding vehicle to change lanes when approaching the junction, regardless of whether or not there is a merging vehicle. If no merging vehicle actually exists, unnecessary control is performed, which is not preferable for running the vehicle. As described above, since the behavior of the preceding vehicle is not necessarily linked to the entry of the merging vehicle, the control for predicting the presence or absence of the merging vehicle based on this is lacking in accuracy and hindering smooth running of the vehicle. There is a risk.

う。[0008] Here, the merging area is not limited to a merging portion such as an interchange on an expressway or a service area, but also includes a merging portion on a general road or a lane merging portion at the end of a climbing lane. Further, the relative speed represents a broad concept, and typically, the relative speed of the own vehicle with respect to the merging vehicle (own vehicle speed / merging vehicle speed) or the relative speed of the merging vehicle with respect to own vehicle (merging vehicle speed / own vehicle speed). However, the present invention is not limited to these, and includes all those indicating a relative speed such as a speed difference between the two vehicles. For example, when using the relative speed of the own vehicle with respect to the merging vehicle as the relative speed, the merging control means sets a predetermined value to the relative speed, and performs acceleration prohibition control when the relative speed is equal to or less than the predetermined value, When the predetermined value is exceeded, the merge control is performed so as to perform the deceleration control.

細は後述する。The inter-vehicle distance control means 11 performs follow-up control so that the inter-vehicle distance is in accordance with the traveling speed of the preceding vehicle when there is a preceding vehicle, and performs constant speed traveling control at a set vehicle speed when there is no preceding vehicle. The engine 7 and the A / T 8 are controlled based on the presence or absence of the preceding vehicle obtained from the radar 1 or the camera 5, the inter-vehicle distance information to the preceding vehicle, and the vehicle speed information obtained from the vehicle speed sensor 3. The merging area detecting means 12 detects whether or not the own vehicle approaches a merging area such as an interchange or a service area based on information from the navigation device 4. The merging vehicle detection means 13 detects the presence or absence of a merging vehicle based on information from the radar 1 or the camera 5. The relative speed detecting means 14 detects a relative speed between the merging vehicle and the own vehicle based on information from the radar 1. The merging control means 15 is configured such that, when the merging area detecting means 12 detects that the own vehicle has entered the merging area and the merging vehicle detecting means 13 detects the presence of the merging vehicle,
Based on the relative speed detected by the relative speed detecting means 14, the control of merging of acceleration inhibition or deceleration is performed. Details of the merging control will be described later.

る。FIGS. 2A and 2B are flowcharts showing an example of the operation in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, the following distance control is normally performed (step 21), and when there is a preceding vehicle, the following control is performed so that the following distance is set according to the traveling speed of the preceding vehicle. Is performed, and when there is no preceding vehicle, constant speed running control at the set vehicle speed is performed. In such a situation, the merging area detecting means 12
Determines whether the vehicle has entered a confluence area such as an interchange (IC) or a service area (SA) based on information from the navigation device 4 (step 2).
2). As a result, when it is not detected that the own vehicle has entered the merging area, the process returns to the inter-vehicle distance control in step 21. When it is detected that the vehicle has entered the merging area, the presence or absence of a merging vehicle is detected based on information from the radar 1 and the camera 5 (step 23). When the presence of the merging vehicle is not detected, the process returns to the inter-vehicle distance control in step 21.

だからである。On the other hand, when the presence of a merging vehicle is detected,
The relative speed of the own vehicle with respect to the merging vehicle (vehicle vehicle speed / merging vehicle speed) is determined, and it is determined whether or not it is equal to or less than a predetermined value (step 24). As a result, when the relative speed of the own vehicle is equal to or less than the predetermined value, acceleration prohibition control is performed (step 25), and when the relative speed exceeds the predetermined value, deceleration control is performed (step 2).
6). For example, it is assumed that a predetermined value of the relative speed of the own vehicle to the merging vehicle is set to “1.1”. In this case, when the relative speed of the own vehicle is detected as “1.05” which is equal to or less than a predetermined value with respect to the merging vehicle entering from the interchange, acceleration prohibition control is performed. This is because the speed of the merging vehicle traveling ahead is already close to the speed of the own vehicle, and the vehicle is accelerating in the merging lane. This is because they can merge smoothly. On the other hand, when the relative speed of the own vehicle to the merging vehicle is detected as “1.15” exceeding the predetermined value, the deceleration control is performed. This is because the speed of the merging vehicle traveling in front is considerably slower than the speed of the own vehicle, and unless the own vehicle is decelerated, it is dangerous to approach the merging vehicle too much.

Although not shown, in such a case, information such as "acceleration inhibition control" or "deceleration control in progress" can be displayed on the display device 9 to provide information to the driver. This information provision may be performed by voice, or may be performed by both display and voice. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the own vehicle enters the merging area and detects the merging vehicle, the merging control for prohibiting or decelerating the own vehicle based on the relative speed between the merging vehicle and the own vehicle is performed. Can keep the vehicle running smoothly.

御に復帰する。In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2B, it is determined whether or not the turn signal (TS) has been operated to the right or the driver has performed an acceleration operation during the merging control (step 27). When it is determined that there is no operation, the process returns to step S22. If it is determined that at least one of these operations has been performed, the preceding control of the acceleration inhibition or deceleration is released (step 28). This is a sign that when the turn signal is operated to the right, the driver changes lanes in order to avoid the merging vehicle, so the merging control is not necessary, and the driver performed acceleration operation. Sometimes, the driver's will to pass the point before the merging vehicle joins the main line is manifested, and the merging control as described above is not necessary in this case as well.
After the merging control is released, the process returns to the inter-vehicle distance control in step 21.

Performed by As described above, according to the present invention, the merging vehicle is directly detected, and acceleration is prohibited or decelerated based on the relative speed between the merging vehicle and the own vehicle. Therefore, unnecessary braking operation by the driver can be avoided, and accurate merging control can be performed. Becomes possible. Also, when the driver performs a turn signal operation or an acceleration operation, the merging control is released, so that it is possible to quickly return to the normal inter-vehicle distance control.
