  • Patent number: 11691601
    Abstract: A vehicle parking brake control includes a parking switch for switching the parking brake between ON and OFF, a vehicle power source switch for switching a power source of the vehicle between ON and OFF, a parking brake controller for executing automatic application control when the power source is operated from ON to OFF by the occupant with use of the vehicle power source switch, and a prohibition condition determination unit for determining that when the parking brake is OFF, the vehicle is stopped, and the vehicle power source is ON, a prohibition condition for prohibiting automatically turning the parking brake on is satisfied when a turning-off operation for the vehicle power source switch is executed after a turning-off operation for the parking switch is executed. When a determination is made that the prohibition condition is satisfied, the parking brake controller does not execute the automatic application control.

  • Patent number: 8956266
    Abstract: A vehicle driving force control device includes: a brake unit configured to generate a brake force of a vehicle; a stroke amount detecting unit configured to detect a stroke amount of a brake pedal of the vehicle; a monitoring unit configured to monitor whether generation of the brake force of the brake unit is abnormal; and a creep torque controlling unit configured to increase a reduction amount of a creep torque of the vehicle as the stroke amount increases, when the monitoring unit determines that the generation of the brake force in the brake unit is abnormal.
