Abstract

A control device is applied to a vehicle that has a braking device configured to be able to adjust the braking force applied to the vehicle. The control device has a stopping braking force imparting unit that controls the braking device in order to apply a stopping braking force to the vehicle, as a minimum value of the braking force required to keep the vehicle stopped. The control device also has a deviation quantity deriving unit that derives a deviation quantity between a state quantity of the vehicle obtained when the stopping braking force is applied to the vehicle by the stopping braking force imparting unit and an ideal value of the state quantity of the vehicle. The control device also has a stopping braking force updating unit that updates the stopping braking force on the basis of the deviation quantity derived by the deviation quantity deriving unit.

Claims (22)

1. A braking control device for a vehicle, which is to be applied to a vehicle having a braking device configured to be able to adjust a braking force to be applied to the vehicle, the braking control device for a vehicle comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

control the braking device so as to apply a stopping braking force to the vehicle, as a minimum value of the braking force required to keep the vehicle stopped;

derive a deviation quantity between a state quantity of the vehicle obtained in a state in which the stopping braking force is applied to the vehicle and an ideal value of the state quantity of the vehicle, based on a vehicle behavior upon shifting a stop state to a traveling state of the vehicle by reducing the braking force applied to the vehicle; and

update the stopping braking force to an updated stopping braking force on a basis of the deviation quantity, when shifting the vehicle from the traveling state to a next stop state,

wherein when updating the stopping braking force, the stopping braking force is updated so that variation per unit time of vehicle acceleration upon shift from the next stop state to the traveling state of the vehicle is to be smaller.

2. The braking control device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry derives the deviation quantity, based on a time period from a point in time at which the braking force starts to be reduced to a point in time at which the vehicle shifts to the traveling state.

3. The braking control device for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the processing circuitry controls the braking device so as to apply the updated stopping braking force.

4. The braking control device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry controls the braking device so as to apply the updated stopping braking force.

5. A braking control device for a vehicle, which is to be applied to a vehicle having a braking device configured to be able to adjust a braking force to be applied to the vehicle, the braking control device for a vehicle comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

control the braking device so as to apply a stopping braking force to the vehicle, as a minimum value of the braking force required to keep the vehicle stopped;

derive a deviation quantity between a state quantity of the vehicle obtained in a state in which the stopping braking force is applied to the vehicle and an ideal value of the state quantity of the vehicle, based on a vehicle behavior upon shifting a stop state to a traveling state of the vehicle by reducing the braking force applied to the vehicle; and

update the stopping braking force to an updated stopping braking force on a basis of the deviation quantity, when shifting the vehicle from the traveling state to a next stop state,

wherein, the processing circuitry derives the deviation quantity, based on a time period from a point in time at which the braking force starts to be reduced to a point in time at which the vehicle shifts to the traveling state.

6. The braking control device for a vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein the processing circuitry controls the braking device so as to apply the updated stopping braking force.

7. A braking control device for a vehicle, which is to be applied to a vehicle having a braking device configured to be able to adjust a braking force to be applied to the vehicle, the braking control device for a vehicle comprising:

processing circuitry configured to

control the braking device so as to apply a stopping braking force to the vehicle, as a minimum value of the braking force required to keep the vehicle stopped;

derive a deviation quantity between a state quantity of the vehicle obtained in a state in which the stopping braking force is applied to the vehicle and an ideal value of the state quantity of the vehicle, based on a vehicle behavior upon shifting a traveling state to a stop state; and

update the stopping braking force to an updated stopping braking force on a basis of the deviation quantity, when shifting the vehicle from the stop state to a next traveling state by reducing the braking force applied to the vehicle,

wherein the processing circuitry derives the deviation quantity, based on a variation width of vehicle acceleration upon shifting from the traveling state to the stop state of the vehicle.
