BRAKING EQUIPMENT FOR VEHICLES

Abstract

The invention proposes a braking device (11) for a vehicle. The braking device comprises a front wheel brake (23) to which the braking force is transmitted by hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic braking system (25), a modulator (39) to regulate the hydraulic pressure to decrease, maintain, or increase the hydraulic pressure, and a BRK-ECU (17) to control the regulation of the hydraulic pressure for the hydraulic pressure using the modulator (39). The BRK-ECU (17) is made up of a receiving unit that receives the vehicle body speed and a stopping unit which, in the event that the vehicle body speed falls below a predetermined speed threshold during the implementation of the control of the regulation of the pressure to maintain or increase the hydraulic pressure for the hydraulic pressure by the action of the modulator (39).The stopping determination is performed to see whether xc (10) has a tendency to stop, and BRKECƯ (17) performs pressure regulation control to maintain brake hydraulic pressure on the basis of the stopping determination results by the stopping determination unit. With this configuration, the braking sensation can be maintained favorably.
