Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle includes: a friction braking device configured to generate a friction braking force; a generator motor configured to generate a regenerative braking force; and a control unit configured to adjust the friction braking force and adjust the regenerative braking force by controlling energization of the generator motor such that a required braking force that is required by the vehicle is generated, interrupt energization of the generator motor at predetermined timing after timing at which a specific operation, which is a combination of a plurality of operations conducted by an occupant, has completed within a threshold time, and control the generator motor so as to prohibit generation of the regenerative braking force by the generator motor when at least one of the plurality of operations combined as the specific operation has been detected within a specific period back from braking start timing at which the required braking force is generated.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A vehicle comprising: a friction braking device configured to generate a friction braking force; a generator motor configured to generate a regenerative braking force; and an electronic control unit configured to adjust the friction braking force and adjust the regenerative braking force by controlling energization of the generator motor such that a required braking force that is required by the vehicle is generated, interrupt energization of the generator motor at predetermined timing after timing at which a specific operation, which is a combination of a plurality of operations conducted by an occupant, has completed within a threshold time, and control the generator motor so as to prohibit generation of the regenerative braking force by the generator motor when at least one of the plurality of operations combined as the specific operation has been detected within a specific period back from braking start timing at which the required braking force is generated. 2 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit is configured to detect the at least one of the plurality of operations combined as the specific operation after a travel starting operation to start causing the vehicle to travel. 3 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit is configured to detect the at least one of the plurality of operations combined as the specific operation after a vehicle speed of the vehicle becomes higher than zero. 4 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit is configured to prohibit generation of the regenerative braking force by the generator motor until a lapse of a predetermined time from operation detection timing at which the at least one of the plurality of operations combined as the specific operation has been detected. 5 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the specific period is a period back from the braking start timing by a time shorter than or equal to the threshold time. 6 . The vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the specific operation is a combination of multiple pressing operations of a switch that is used at the time of changing from an energized state where an electrical device mounted on the vehicle is energized to a non-energized state where energization of the electrical device is interrupted, and the electronic control unit is configured to interrupt energization of the generator motor by interrupting at least an energization path to the generator motor at the predetermined timing.
