Abstract
Disclosed is a vehicle speed control apparatus including: a speed limit information recognition unit recognizing a location and a speed limit of a speed limit point located in front of a vehicle; a storage unit stored with deceleration characteristic values including at least one driving characteristic; a deceleration characteristic select unit selecting the deceleration characteristic values corresponding to the location and the speed limit of the recognized speed limit point among the deceleration characteristic values stored in the storage unit; and a targeted acceleration calculation unit calculating a targeted acceleration necessary for a vehicle speed control up to the speed limit point based on the selected deceleration characteristic values. By this configuration, it is possible to precisely control the vehicle speed up to the speed limit point at an optimal speed.
