  • Patent number: 9643578
    Abstract: The embodiment provides a vehicle control unit including a torque increment setting module related to a drive source brake torque control and an anti-lock braking control module related to an anti-lock braking control. The torque increment setting modules includes a first setting module and a second setting module. The first setting module sets the torque increment based on at least a slip amount of a wheel when the drive source brake torque control is in execution but the anti-lock braking control is not executed. The second setting module sets the torque increment based on a parameter other than the slip amount when both the drive source brake torque control and the anti-lock braking control are in execution.
