Patent ID: 8843286

Claim:
A vehicle driving force suppression device comprising: an object detection unit for detecting an object existing only in front of a vehicle; a shift position detection unit for detecting a transmission position; a driving force suppression determination unit for determining whether to suppress a vehicle driving force, on the basis of a detection result of the object given by the object detection unit and a detection result of the transmission position given by the shift position detection unit; and a driving force suppression unit for suppressing the vehicle driving force by adjusting at least one of a brake and an engine output, wherein, upon a vehicle starting off, if the object detection unit does not detect any object which is an obstacle to driving and which is in front of the vehicle and the shift position detection unit detects that the transmission position is a reverse position, the driving force suppression determination unit determines to suppress the vehicle driving force and outputs a command of driving force suppression to the driving force suppression unit; and wherein the driving force suppression unit receives the command from the driving force suppression determination unit, and executes at least one of restriction of the engine output against the driver's acceleration operation and generation of deceleration force with the brake, thus suppressing the vehicle driving force.
