Vehicle control device
First Claim
1. A vehicle control device applied to a vehicle including a service brake configured to generate wheel cylinder pressure in accordance with brake operation to generate braking force at each wheel, and automatically increase the wheel cylinder pressure to automatically control the braking force of the wheel, the device comprising:
- an electronic control unit configured to set target speed of vehicle body speed of the vehicle and execute off-road support control of driving force control to cause the vehicle body speed to approach the target speed;
whereinthe electronic control unit is configured to set brake target threshold speed as the target speed and generate the braking force when the vehicle body speed exceeds the target speed to cause the vehicle body speed to approach the target speed, andthe electronic control unit decreases the brake target threshold speed in conformity with the vehicle body speed when the off-road support control is executed and the vehicle body speed is decreased to become lower than the brake target threshold speed by braking force generated by the brake operation, andthe electronic control unit sets the brake target threshold speed in accordance with an accelerator open degree and limiting acceleration of the vehicle to an upper limit value when the vehicle body speed increases in accordance with the accelerator operation, and the vehicle body speed is increased so as not to exceed the brake target threshold speed.

Abstract
To enable control of vehicle speed according to the intentions of a driver by a simpler operation. When a vehicle body speed rapidly decreases and becomes lower than a brake target threshold speed, the brake target threshold speed is decreased in conformity with the vehicle body speed. This prevents the increase of the vehicle body speed toward the brake target threshold speed such that a vehicle accelerates regardless of a brake being in operation because the brake target threshold speed is set at a higher value than the vehicle body speed. Accordingly, the vehicle body speed decelerates by a simpler operation while being able to prevent the vehicle from accelerating against the intentions of a driver and being able to control the speed of the vehicle according to the intentions of the driver.
