RUNNING CONTROL DEVICE AND BRAKING FORCE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To test a braking force without running a vehicle actually. SOLUTION: A braking indication signal (a pseudo signal) is transmitted from an ECU between vehicles to a VSC-ECU via an engine ECU on a vehicle 12 side by a complex indication by combining predetermined switching operations with detected values of sensors for operating an actuator to realize a testing process. Thus, transmissibility of a signal path can be assuredly verified. Confirmation of the braking force (a braking test) can be performed with a brake tester for imaging the operation by the braking indication with a camera 24 to allow confirming with a monitor 26 without need to get out the vehicle.
