Vehicle engine activation control system

A vehicle engine activation control system comprising:

• a starter connected to a battery;
• an idle stop control unit configured to automatically stop an engine and automatically reactivate the engine by the starter;
• an input unit configured to generate an operation request in response to input received from a driver;
• an electric parking brake device including an electric motor connected to the battery, wherein the electric motor starts driving in response to the operation request;
• and
• a mediating unit configured to prohibit the reactivation of the engine by the idle stop control unit, when the electric motor is in a driving state in response to the operation request being a predetermined operation request, wherein the idle stop control unit reactivates the engine after the driving of the electric motor is completed, when the mediating unit prohibits the reactivation of the engine.

• a mediating unit configured to prohibit the reactivation of the engine by the idle stop control unit, when the electric motor is in a driving state in response to the operation request being a predetermined operation request, wherein
• the mediating unit further discontinues the reactivation of the engine, when the predetermined operation request is generated while the engine is being reactivated by the idle stop control unit, and
• the idle stop control unit reactivates the engine after the driving of the electric motor is completed in response to the predetermined operation request, when the mediating unit discontinues the reactivation of the engine.
