Abstract:
1. An accelerator pedal reaction force control device for controlling a depression reaction force of an accelerator pedal provided to a motor vehicle, comprising: a reaction force providing unit that provides the accelerator pedal with a depression reaction force; a target depression reaction force setting unit that sets a target depression reaction force; a depression amount detection unit that detects an amount of depression of the accelerator pedal as a pedal depression amount; a vehicle speed detection unit that detects a vehicle speed; and a vehicle speed maintenance depression amount setting unit that sets an amount of depression of the accelerator pedal for maintaining a current vehicle speed as a vehicle speed maintenance depression amount, wherein the vehicle speed maintenance depression amount is set such that the vehicle speed maintenance depression amount increases with increase in the vehicle speed, wherein, when the pedal depression amount exceeds the vehicle speed maintenance depression amount, the target depression reaction force setting unit performs a first increase process in which the target depression reaction force is increased by a first increase amount.
