Abstract
A vehicle control apparatus which performs a parking control of a vehicle, includes a wheel setting unit configured to set at least one brake wheel which is a wheel to which a braking force is applied during the parking control and at least one non-brake wheel which is a wheel to which the braking force is not applied during the parking control, and a control unit configured to perform the parking control of the vehicle based on a rotation amount of at least one brake wheel and a rotation amount of at least one non-brake wheel detected by a wheel speed sensor detecting the rotation amount of a wheel of the vehicle.
Claims19
A vehicle control apparatus which performs a parking control of a vehicle, comprising:
- a wheel setting unit configured to determine at least one wheel to be a brake wheel to be applied with a braking force during the parking control and at least one wheel to be a non-brake wheel not to be applied with the braking force during the parking control;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform the parking control of the vehicle based on a rotation amount of the at least one brake wheel and a rotation amount of the at least one non-brake wheel, wherein the rotation amount of the at least one brake wheel and the rotation amount of the at least one non-brake wheel are detected by respective wheel speed sensors.
A vehicle control method performing a parking control of a vehicle, comprising:
- determining at least one wheel to be a brake wheel to be applied with a braking force during the parking control and at least one wheel to be a non-brake wheel not to be applied with the braking force during the parking control;
- detecting a rotation amount of the at least one brake wheel and a rotation amount of the at least one non-brake wheel, wherein the rotation amount of the at least one brake wheel and the rotation amount of the at least one non-brake wheel are detected by respective wheel speed sensors;
- deciding whether or not the at least one brake wheel becomes locked based on the rotation amount of the at least one brake wheel and the rotation amount of the at least one non-brake wheel detected in the step of detecting;
- and
- applying a predetermined braking force to the at least one brake wheel when it is decided that the at least one brake wheel did not become locked in the step of determining and applying a braking force smaller than the predetermined braking force to the at least one brake wheel when it is determined that the at least one brake wheel becomes locked in the step of determining.
