BRAKE CONTROL METHOD AND BRAKE CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. A brake control method for a braking device having a function of applying a brake force to a wheel equipped with a tire to put a brake on a vehicle while adjusting the brake force, the brake control method comprising the steps of:
- acquiring, in time series, acceleration data of acceleration applied to the tire in a radial direction of the tire;
setting a predetermined detection range with respect to the acceleration data and setting a threshold value with respect to values of corresponding part of the acceleration data falling within the predetermined detection range;
specifying the corresponding part of the acceleration data falling within the predetermined detection range; and
controlling, when a value or values of the specified part of the acceleration data exceeds or exceed the threshold value, the brake force to be applied to the wheel as a control target.

Abstract
A brake control device is provided to a wheel equipped with a tire, which has a function of applying a brake force to the wheel to put a brake thereon while adjusting the brake force. In the device, an acceleration sensor outputs acceleration data in a radial direction of the rotating tire, a predetermined detection range is set with respect to the acceleration data, a threshold value is set with respect to a corresponding part of the acceleration data falling within the detection range, the corresponding part of the acceleration data falling within the detection range is specified. Values of the specified acceleration data are compared with the threshold value, and a control signal for causing a braking device to adjust the brake force thereof is output in a case where some values of the acceleration data are larger than the threshold value.
