Abstract:
1. A cruise control apparatus, comprising: a communication unit to receive road information from a navigation device; and a controller that confirms whether or not deceleration information is present in the road information, confirms a speed corresponding to the deceleration information if the deceleration information is present, compares the confirmed speed with a current speed, and controls a speed of a vehicle to the confirmed speed if the confirmed speed is greater than the current speed; and a speed input unit to receive a speed of the vehicle from a driver, wherein the deceleration information present in the road information received from the navigation device includes at least one of a position of a curve, a turning radius of the vehicle at a curve, and a speed limit, wherein the deceleration information indicates the position of a bump, and the controller controls the speed of the vehicle based on the information on the position of the bump to set the speed of the vehicle to a predetermined constant speed while passing the position of the bump, wherein the controller confirms the highest speed limit if the deceleration information indicates the speed limit, and controls the speed of the vehicle to the highest speed limit, and wherein when the speed of the vehicle from the driver is received, the controller compares the driver input speed with the highest speed limit, and controls the vehicle to a lower speed among the driver input speed and the highest speed limit based on a comparison result.
