BRAKING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BRAKING APPARATUS

摘要

A braking apparatus includes a hydraulic brake device that generates pressure braking-force by wheel cylinder pressure, the hydraulic brake device including a master cylinder for exerting a master cylinder pressure on a brake oil according to a manipulation force generated by the manipulation of a brake pedal by a driver, a brake booster for assisting the manipulation force by a negative pressure generated by an internal combustion engine, and a negative pressure sensor for detecting the negative pressure of the brake booster, and a regenerative braking device for generating a regenerative braking-force by performing regenerative braking. The regenerative braking device generates a regenerative braking when the detected negative pressure is lower than a reference negative pressure to be greater than when the detected negative pressure is the reference negative pressure. The uncomfortable feeling felt by the driver in manipulating the brake is suppressed, and the fuel consumption is enhanced.
