Abstract: A braking control device includes a determination unit that determines whether or not a shift range has changed when a transition is made from a stop-preceding moving state to a stopped state, and a braking control unit that, in a situation in which the determination unit has made an affirmative determination, carries out a braking force increasing process when a transition is made from a stopped state to a stop-following moving state. Even when a transition is made from a stopped state to a stop-following moving state in a situation in which the determination unit has made an affirmative determination, the braking control unit carries out a braking force increasing process or a limiting process on the condition that the moving direction of the vehicle in the stop-following moving state be the opposite direction of the moving direction of the vehicle in the stop-preceding moving state.

Abstract: It is determined whether or not there is a “wheel to be subject to the vehicle stability control, in which a braking force is decreased with respect to a braking force corresponding to the pressing force of the brake pad due to fade or the like” (reduced braking force wheel) during vehicle stability control. When there is a reduced braking force wheel, a “wheel with a highest order of priority determined in advance for wheels for which a braking force needs to be generated in order to enhance the travel stability in the vehicle stability control” (first braking force allocated wheel) is identified among wheels excluding the reduced braking force wheel, and the pressing force of the brake pad of the first braking force allocated wheel is increased based on a lack of the braking force in the reduced braking force wheel.

Abstract: A vehicle forward traveling determination apparatus and a vehicle forward traveling determination method are provided. The apparatus includes a transmission gear ratio calculation unit which calculates a transmission gear ratio based on a number of revolutions of a driving source of a vehicle and a value corresponding to a number of revolutions at an output side of a transmission mounted to the vehicle, a gear stage determination unit which determines whether a gear stage of the transmission is set in a forward gear stage based on the calculated transmission gear ratio calculated, an acceleration determination unit which determines whether the vehicle is being accelerated, and a forward traveling determination unit which determines that the vehicle is traveling forward when it is determined that the gear stage of the transmission is set in the forward gear stage and that the vehicle is being accelerated.
