Brake control method and brake control device
A brake control method includes: determining whether the acceleration amount in a brake release operation of a vehicle is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount in a brake operation of the vehicle when a parking brake device that is driven by a motor performs braking control with anti-lock control for alternately repeating the brake operation and the brake release operation while the vehicle is travelling; and restricting the anti-lock control from being performed when the acceleration amount is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount.
1 . A brake control method comprising:
determining whether acceleration amount in a brake release operation of a vehicle is equal to or larger than deceleration amount in a brake operation of the vehicle when a parking brake device that is driven by a motor performs braking control with anti-lock control for alternately repeating the brake operation and the brake release operation while the vehicle is travelling; and
restricting the anti-lock control from being performed when the acceleration amount is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount.
2 . The brake control method according to claim 1 , comprising:
determining whether a speed of the vehicle that is travelling is lower than a prescribed determination speed; and
determining whether the acceleration amount is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount when the speed of the vehicle that is travelling is lower than the prescribed determination speed.
3 . The brake control method according to claim 1 , wherein the braking control with the anti-lock control is emergency brake control for braking the vehicle that is travelling due to an occupant of the vehicle operating the parking brake device.
4 . The brake control method according to claim 3 , comprising:
acquiring a friction coefficient of a road surface on which the vehicle travels when an emergency brake is actuated; and
determining whether the acceleration amount is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount when the acquired friction coefficient is equal to or less than a prescribed threshold.
5 . The brake control method according to claim 1 , wherein the deceleration amount is obtained based on an operation time of the brake operation in one cycle of the anti-lock control and a deceleration in the brake operation of the vehicle.
6 . The brake control method according to claim 1 , wherein the acceleration amount is obtained based on an operation time of the brake release operation in one cycle of the anti-lock control and an acceleration in the brake release operation of the vehicle.
7 . The brake control method according to claim 1 , wherein the anti-lock control is restricted by reducing the brake release amount in the brake release operation compared to the brake release amount when the anti-lock control is not restricted.
8 . A brake control device comprising:
a microcomputer including a central processing unit, a non-transitory memory, and an output unit, wherein the microcomputer is configured to:
determine whether acceleration amount in a brake release operation of a vehicle is equal to or larger than deceleration amount in a brake operation of the vehicle when a parking brake device that is driven by a motor performs braking control with anti-lock control for alternately repeating the brake operation and the brake release operation while the vehicle is travelling; and
restrict the anti-lock control from being performed when the acceleration amount is equal to or larger than the deceleration amount.
