Abstract

Method and apparatus for controlling a moving speed of a moving body, wherein at least one transient target speed value in addition to a final target speed value is used to control the moving speed in an accelerating period between a moment of initiation of a movement of the moving body and a moment at which the moving speed should coincide with the final target speed value. The transient target speed is updated at a predetermined timing, or changed to the final target speed value, or from one transient value to another transient value before it is changed to the final target speed value, so that the moving speed is smoothly increased to the final target speed value, without an overshoot beyond the final target speed value.
