Abstract
A method of controlling coasting of a vehicle, may include a preparing step of measuring an interval between an objective vehicle and a foregoing vehicle traveling ahead of the objective vehicle. a starting step of calculating a distance moved by coasting for a first predetermined time from a current speed of the objective vehicle and of starting coasting when the calculated movement distance is larger than the interval measured in the preparing step. an ending step of calculating a distance moved by coasting for a second predetermined time from the current speed of the objective vehicle after coasting is started in the starting step, and of giving an instruction to end coasting when the calculated movement is larger than the interval measured in the preparing step, in which the time T1 is longer than the time T2.
