Title:
TREADING STRENGTH ESTIMATING DEVICE AND VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005112203
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a treading strength estimating device for detecting the treading strength without a master cylinder pressure sensor, and a vehicle behavior control device using the device.
A control device ECU estimates that a brake pedal BP is stepped more strongly in the case where a time difference from the on-state of a stop switch STP to the on-state of an end switch PMC (the change time to the state BS0 to BS2: the period of the state BS1) is small as compared with the case of a large time difference. In order to quickly move the brake pedal BP, the treading strength should be large. When the time difference (the period of BS1) is small, it is estimated that the brake pedal BP is stepped strongly.
