Patent ID: 8010270

Claim:
A controller for a vehicle performing a brake hold control in which a brake is operated to hold braking force even when a brake pedal is not stepped on by a driver and the operation of said brake is stopped when a degree of acceleration request by the driver exceeds a predetermined first degree, said vehicle including a motor operating and thereby generating driving force for said vehicle, said controller comprising: a control accelerator pedal position calculating unit detecting said degree of acceleration request; a creep torque reflection ratio calculating unit that determines, while said brake hold control is being executed, whether said degree of acceleration request has exceeded a second degree smaller than said first degree, stops creep force of said vehicle until said degree of acceleration request exceeds said second degree, by stopping the operation of said motor, and recovers said creep force when said degree of acceleration request exceeds said second degree by operating said motor, and a control unit that controls said motor, in a case where said degree of acceleration request exceeds said first degree, so that an amount of increase of the driving force for said vehicle per unit time is limited when the driving force for said vehicle is smaller than a predetermined value, and so that driving force is generated in accordance with said degree of acceleration request when the driving force for said vehicle is larger than said predetermined value.
