Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A vehicle electric braking device wherein: a first degree of contribution associated with the actual pressing force value and a second degree of contribution associated with an estimated pressing force value, are determined based on operation amount of a braking operation member; the second degree of contribution is determined to be larger than the first degree when the operation amount is small; the first degree of contribution is determined to be larger than the second when the operation amount is large; a combined pressing force is calculated based on a value obtained by accounting for the first degree of contribution in the actual pressing force value and a value obtained by accounting for the second degree of contribution in the estimated pressing force value; and an electric motor target power supply amount is calculated based on the combined pressing force and a target pressing force calculated from the operation amount.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electric braking system for a vehicle, comprising: an operation amount sensor that acquires a driver's operation amount of a braking operation member of the vehicle; a brake actuator that generates a braking torque in a wheel of the vehicle by transmitting power of an electric motor via a transmission member to press a friction member against a rotary member fixed to the wheel; an electronic control unit configured to compute a target energizati…
