PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inter-vehicle distance controlling device allowing a driver to set an inter-vehicle distance according to his or her preference.SOLUTION: An inter-vehicle distance controlling device enables inter-vehicle distance control for controlling a distance between an own vehicle and a preceding vehicle traveling in front of the own vehicle, to be constant, and comprises: a measuring part for measuring an inter-vehicle distance and a vehicle speed of the own vehicle; a vehicle speed control part for controlling the vehicle speed of the own vehicle so as to make the inter-vehicle time required to travel said inter-vehicle distance at said vehicle speed equal to a target inter-vehicle time, on the basis of the inter-vehicle distance and the own vehicle speed measured by the measuring part; a control setting part for setting the control of the vehicle speed control part to be either valid or invalid; an inter-vehicle time learning part for learning an inter-vehicle time preferred by a driver on the basis of the inter-vehicle distance and the vehicle speed measured by the measuring part when the control of the vehicle speed control part is set to be invalid by the control setting part; and a target inter-vehicle time updating part for updating the target inter-vehicle time to be the inter-vehicle time preferred by the driver learned by the inter-vehicle time learning part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】ドライバの好みに合わせて車間距離を設定できる車間距離制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】車間距離制御装置は、自車両と該自車両の前方を走行する先行車両との車間距離を一定に保つ車間距離制御を可能にする車間距離制御装置であって、車間距離及び自車両の車速を計測する計測部と、計測部で計測された車間距離及び自車両の車速に基づいて、該車間距離を該車速によって走行するのに要する車間時間が目標車間時間となるように自車両の車速を制御する車速制御部と、車速制御部の制御を有効又は無効のいずれか一方に設定する制御設定部と、制御設定部で車速制御部の制御が無効に設定された場合に、計測部で計測された車間距離及び車速に基づいてドライバ好みの車間時間を学習する車間時間学習部と、目標車間時間を車間時間学習部で学習されたドライバ好みの車間時間に更新する目標車間時間更新部とを備える。【選択図】 図1
