RAPID ACCELERATION SUPPRESSION DEVICE

A rapid acceleration suppression device of a subject vehicle includes: an information acquisition part configured to acquire information on vehicle speed and time-series information on accelerator position; a determination part configured to determine whether or not the accelerator has been performed abnormally, based on the time-series information on the accelerator position; and a control part configured to provide control over a drive force of the subject vehicle, based on a current vehicle speed and a current accelerator position. If the determination part determines that the accelerator has been performed abnormally, the control part allows an acceleration of the subject vehicle within a range within which the current vehicle speed does not exceed a preset upper limit vehicle speed.
