Title:

PARKING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/122852

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

A parking control system for a vehicle, where, when a shift range of an automatic transmission is changed to a parking range, the system early and reliably applies sufficient braking force to a parking brake and prevents the user from forgetting to apply the parking brake. The parking control system for a vehicle has a range changeover device (26), an electric parking brake device (50), and an automatic transmission ECU (60). The range changeover device (26) changes over a shift range of the automatic transmission (20) in operative association with a shift lever (61) operated by the operator and changes over a parking mechanism (27), installed in the automatic transmission (20), between an engaged state and a disengaged state. The electric parking brake device (50) is driven by an electrical range position signal corresponding to a shift range of the automatic transmission ECU (60), thereby changing over the parking brake (53) of the vehicle between a braked state and a brake release state. The automatic transmission ECU (60) drives the electric parking brake device (50) based on a range position signal of the vehicle.
