VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST APPARATUS, VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST METHOD, AND VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST PROGRAM

A vehicle driving assist apparatus executes a constant speed moving control to autonomously control a moving speed of an own vehicle to a set moving speed. The vehicle driving assist apparatus pauses the constant speed moving control and executes an intermittent braking control when the own vehicle moves down a slope having a gradient smaller than a predetermined gradient threshold while the constant speed moving control is executed. The intermittent braking control is a control to alternately apply and stop applying the braking force to the own vehicle. The braking force applied to the own vehicle by the intermittent braking control is greater than the braking force applied to the own vehicle by the constant speed moving control.
