The invention relates to a pedal apparatus for vehicles, which comprises a pedal reaction-force addition means (4) for adding a reaction force to a pedal (1) of a vehicle, a pedal force detection means (2) for detecting a force added to the pedal, a pedal reaction-force control menas (3) for adjusting the output of the pedal reaction-force addition means. During the running of the vehicle, the pedal reaction-force control means (3) performs the adjustment of a reaction force of the pedal (1) on the basis of the driving environment of the vehicle and the driver's intention and judgment in pedal operation in the driving environment, whereby it is ensured that when the driver has no intention of operating the pedal (1), the driver can sufficiently place his of her foot on the pedal (1) and that when the driver has any intention of operating the pedal (1), the driver can realize a smooth pedal operation. <IMAGE> |
