Abstract: An ECU of a vehicle executes a regeneration process to control an electric motor so as to generate regenerative torque during deceleration caused by an accelerator OFF. The ECU executes a torque gradual decrease process to decrease the regenerative torque in a wheel slip detection state more gradually at a time when a brake pedal is depressed after a start of the deceleration and ABS control is not activated than a time when the brake pedal is not depressed after the start of the deceleration. The ECU executes a hydraulic pressure increase process to increase the upstream hydraulic pressure such that, when the ABS control is activated while the brake pedal is depressed after the start of the deceleration, the upstream hydraulic pressure has a value necessary for generating a braking torque having a magnitude according to the regenerative torque generated at a start of the ABS control.

Abstract: A vehicle travel control device includes a plurality of wheel speed detection devices and a control unit. A plurality of wheel speed detection devices detects the wheel speed of each of the plurality of wheels. The control unit performs vehicle travel control (anti-skid control) based on the wheel speed detected by the wheel speed detection device. The control unit determines whether the wheel speed of the first wheel is abnormal based on the relationship between the wheel speed of the first wheel with the highest wheel speed and the wheel speed of the second wheel with the second highest wheel speed. Abnormality determination is performed to determine whether there is. When the vehicle is braking, the control unit does not make an abnormality determination when the wheel speed increase rate of the first wheel is less than the increase rate reference value.

When the downstream braking actuator is abnormal and the upstream pressure can be supplied to the braking force generating devices, but a braking pressure of any one of the wheels cannot be normally reduced, the control unit selects higher one of the target braking pressures of the left and right front wheels and higher one of the left and right rear wheels, determines lower one of the two selected target braking pressures as a backup target upstream pressure, and controls the upstream braking actuator such that the upstream pressure becomes the backup target upstream pressure.

Abstract: A brake ECU sets target slippage degrees of three wheels other than the front outer wheel to the slippage degree of the front outer wheel and feedback-controls the braking forces of the three wheels such that the actual slippage degrees of the three wheels approach the target slippage degrees. The brake ECU computes a correction amount for the slip ratio deviation of the front inner wheel such that the slip ratio deviation becomes zero. The brake ECU multiplies the correction amount for the slip ratio deviation by a load ratio and uses the resultant value as a correction amount for the slip ratio deviation of the rear inner wheel. The brake ECU corrects the slip ratio deviation by using the computed correction amount.
