Electric braking system for vehicle
A vehicle electric braking device wherein: a first degree of contribution associated with the actual pressing force value and a second degree of contribution associated with an estimated pressing force value, are determined based on operation amount of a braking operation member; the second degree of contribution is determined to be larger than the first degree when the operation amount is small; the first degree of contribution is determined to be larger than the second when the operation amount is large; a combined pressing force is calculated based on a value obtained by accounting for the first degree of contribution in the actual pressing force value and a value obtained by accounting for the second degree of contribution in the estimated pressing force value; and an electric motor target power supply amount is calculated based on the combined pressing force and a target pressing force calculated from the operation amount.
1. An electric braking system for a vehicle, comprising:
an operation amount sensor that acquires a driver's operation amount of a braking operation member of the vehicle;
a brake actuator that generates a braking torque in a wheel of the vehicle by transmitting power of an electric motor via a transmission member to press a friction member against a rotary member fixed to the wheel;
an electronic control unit configured to compute a target energization amount on the basis of the operation amount and control the electric motor on the basis of the target energization amount;
a pressing force sensor that acquires an actual pressing force value that is an actual value of a force that the friction member presses the rotary member; and
a position sensor that acquires a position of the electric motor, wherein
the electronic control unit is configured to
compute an estimated pressing force value that is an estimated value of the force that the friction member presses the rotary member on the basis of the position,
determine a first contribution degree for the actual pressing force value and a second contribution degree for the estimated pressing force value on the basis of the operation amount,
determine the second contribution degree as a relatively larger value than the first contribution degree when the operation amount is small, and determine the first contribution degree as a relatively larger value than the second contribution degree when the operation amount is large, and
compute the target energization amount on the basis of a value that is obtained from the actual pressing force value in consideration of the first contribution degree and a value that is obtained from the estimated pressing force value in consideration of the second contribution degree.
