Abstract

A vehicle brake fluid pressure control device that restrains a brake fluid pressure from decreasing counter to driver's intent during a vehicle stop time pressure holding control is disclosed. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device is 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. During the vehicle stop time pressure holding control (time t 2 to t 3 ), if a first condition which includes an amount of lateral motion (yaw rate Y) of the vehicle being equal to or greater than a specified value (Yth), and an absolute value (G) of frontward/rearward acceleration undergone by the vehicle being equal to or greater than a first threshold (G 1 ) is fulfilled, the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is canceled (time t 3 ) even without operation of an operation member for operating the vehicle.

Claims (7)

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,

wherein the vehicle brake fluid pressure control device is configured such that when a vehicle stop time pressure holding control switch for selectively enabling and disabling execution of the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is ON, if a condition for starting the vehicle stop time pressure holding control has been fulfilled, the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is executed, and when the vehicle stop time pressure holding control switch is OFF, even if the condition for starting the vehicle stop time pressure holding control has been fulfilled, the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is not executed, and

the vehicle brake fluid pressure control device is configured such that if a first condition which includes an amount of lateral motion of the vehicle being equal to or greater than a specified value, and an absolute value of frontward/rearward acceleration undergone by the vehicle being equal to or greater than a first threshold is fulfilled during the vehicle stop time pressure holding control, the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is canceled even if the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is not switched off and an operation member for operating the vehicle is not operated.

2. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein if a second condition which includes the amount of lateral motion of the vehicle being equal to or greater than the 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, the vehicle stop time pressure holding control is canceled.

3. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device according to claim 2 , wherein the second condition further includes the absolute value of the frontward/rearward acceleration undergone by the vehicle being equal to or greater than a second threshold.

4. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device according to claim 3 , wherein the first threshold is greater than the second threshold.

5. The vehicle brake fluid pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein the first threshold is set based on an estimated road surface slope.
