Abstract

A vehicle brake fluid pressure control device that restrains brake fluid pressure from decreasing counter to driver's intent during vehicle stop time pressure holding control is disclosed. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device is capable of exercising vehicle stop time pressure holding control (time t 2 to t 3 ) under which brake fluid pressure is held when it is determined that a vehicle has been stopped; if a first condition which includes a condition that an amount of lateral motion of the vehicle (yaw rate Y) has become equal to or greater than a first specified value (Yth 1 ) within a first specified time period (T 1 ) elapsed from a time when determined that the vehicle has been stopped (time t 2 ) is fulfilled (time t 3 ) during the vehicle stop time pressure holding control, the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is canceled even without operation of an operation member for operating the vehicle.

Claims (11)

1. A vehicle brake fluid pressure control device capable of exercising a vehicle stop time pressure holding control under which a brake fluid pressure is held when it is determined that a vehicle has been stopped,

the vehicle brake fluid pressure control device being configured to cancel the vehicle stop time pressure holding control without operation of the operation member for operating a vehicle under conditions that comprise:

a first condition that includes:

a condition that an amount of lateral motion of the vehicle has become equal to or greater than a first specified value within a first specified time period elapsed from a time when it is determined that the vehicle has been stopped, and

a condition that the amount of lateral motion of the vehicle has become equal to or greater than a second specified value greater than the first specified value within a second specified time period, longer than the first specified time period, elapsed from the time when it is determined that the vehicle has been stopped,

is fulfilled during the vehicle stop time pressure holding control.

2. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is canceled under conditions that comprise:

the first condition, or

a second condition that includes the amount of lateral motion of the vehicle being equal to or greater than a specified value and the operation of the operation member for operating the vehicle having been done, is fulfilled during the vehicle stop time pressure holding control.

3. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device according to claim 1 , the vehicle brake fluid pressure control device being configured to cancel the vehicle stop time pressure holding control without operation of the operation member for operating the vehicle under a third condition that includes:

a condition that an amount of lateral motion of the vehicle has become equal to or greater than a third specified value within the first specified time period elapsed from a time when it is determined that the vehicle has been stopped during the vehicle stop time pressure holding control.
