<p>A reaction force apparatus (12) incorporated in a vehicle includes a reaction force controller (28) for setting an acceleration intention boundary threshold value (THv¸), which comprises a threshold value with respect to a rate of depression (V¸) of an accelerator pedal, and which determines whether the driver of the vehicle intends to accelerate the vehicle quickly or gradually. The reaction force controller (28) reduces the reaction force (Fr) when the rate of depression (V¸) exceeds the acceleration intention boundary threshold value (THv¸), whereas the reaction force controller (28) maintains the reaction force (Fr) when the rate of depression (V¸) is less than the acceleration intention boundary threshold value (THv¸).</p> |
