Abstract:
1. An auxiliary braking device for a vehicle, comprising: an accelerator pedal operation amount detection unit which detects an operation amount of an accelerator pedal of a vehicle and outputs a signal of the detection result; a brake pedal operation amount detection unit which detects an operation amount of a brake pedal of the vehicle and outputs a signal of the detection result; a braking assistance unit which assists in braking the vehicle based on the signal output from each of the accelerator pedal operation amount detection unit and the brake pedal operation amount detection unit; a wheel speed detection unit which detects a wheel speed which is a rotational speed of a wheel of the vehicle and outputs a signal of the detection result; and a wheel speed difference calculation unit which calculates a wheel speed difference between wheel speeds of a front wheel and a rear wheel based on the signal of the wheel speed output from the wheel speed detection unit and outputs a signal of the calculation result, wherein the braking assistance unit assists in braking the vehicle in a case where the wheel speed difference of the signal output from the wheel speed difference calculation unit is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, and wherein the braking assistance unit assists in braking the vehicle by driving a throttle of the vehicle in a closing direction.
