<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a brake device capable of detecting a pad contact position without giving uncomfortable feeling to a driver. <P>SOLUTION: A pad contact point is detected when the prescribed time passes after a detection signal from a wheel speed sensor shows the following relationship, wheel speed=0 km/h, (step S11; Yes), and it is determined that thrust of an electric caliper exceeds a prescribed value (step S12; Yes), that is, during stopping and braking of the vehicle. The uncomfortable feeling in creeping which is given to the driver in the conventional technique for detecting the pad contact position in stopping and non-braking of the vehicle can be prevented, pad contact point detection can be executed, and unnecessary sense of anxiety can be prevented from being imparted to the driver. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
