Patent ID: 7882920

Claim:
A vehicle braking force controller comprising: a stop determination portion for determining that the vehicle is stopped; a brake operation detection portion for detecting whether a brake pedal is operated; a posture change detection portion for detecting a change in a driver's posture; and a braking force application control portion for transmitting a control signal to a braking force generation portion capable of generating a braking force, regardless of whether the brake pedal is operated by the driver, and applying the braking force to the vehicle, wherein once a change in the driver's posture is detected by the posture change detection portion in a state in which the vehicle is determined to be in a stopped state by the stop determination portion and the operation of the brake pedal is detected by the brake operation detection portion, the braking force application control portion transmits the control signal to the braking force generation portion to apply the braking force and perform vehicle stop retention.
