Vehicle control system

A vehicle control system for a vehicle, the vehicle comprising one or both of an engine and a motor as a drive source of wheels of the vehicle, the vehicle control system comprising:

• a target driving force calculator configured to calculate a target driving force of the vehicle;
• an arithmetic operator configured to calculate, based on the target driving force, a request driving force to be used for controlling drive of the one or both of the engine and the motor, and a request braking force to be used for controlling a hydraulic brake;
• and
• a stop keeping processor configured to, in a case where a stopping braking force that is the request braking force at a stop timing is not equal to or larger than a stop keeping braking force that keeps the vehicle in a stopped state, execute a process of keeping the vehicle in the stopped state by increasing a brake fluid pressure so that a braking force becomes equal to or larger than the stop keeping braking force,
• wherein the arithmetic operator is configured to
• execute a pressure pre-increasing process for pre-increasing the brake fluid pressure before the stop timing and setting, as the request driving force, a cancellation driving force for canceling a braking force for pressure pre-increase, and
• control, in the pressure pre-increasing process, the request braking force so that the braking force for the pressure pre-increase is increased within a range in which the braking force does not exceed a braking force threshold smaller than the stop keeping braking force.
