Pedal reactive force controller

A pedal reactive force controller comprising:

• a reaction force adding unit for adding reaction force to a pedal operated by a driver;
• and
• an information transmission unit for converting a depression amount of the pedal detected by a stroke sensor into visual information, and conveying the depression amount to the driver by displaying the visual information in an operation amount display section, wherein
• the reaction force adding unit sets an operation threshold value of a depression amount at which the reaction force adding unit starts to add the reaction force to the pedal, and
• the visual information includes
• first discriminating information showing that no reaction force is being added to the pedal, and
• second discriminating information showing that the reaction force is being added to the pedal,
• the operation amount display section is divided into
• a first area for displaying the visual information inclusive of the first discriminating information, and
• a second area for displaying the visual information inclusive of the second discriminating information,
• the information transmission unit conveys the depression amount to the driver in a form of the visual information including the first discriminating information, and displayed in the first area, while the depression amount is less than the operation threshold value,
• the information transmission unit conveys the depression amount to the driver in the form of the visual information including the second discriminating information in addition to the first discriminating information, and displayed in the first area and the second area, when the depression amount becomes greater than the operation threshold value, and
• as the depression amount becomes larger, more of the visual information is displayed in the operation amount display section.
