    Abstract: A device and a method for controlling vehicle speed in a vehicle equipped with cruise control when the vehicle is travelling downhill. The method involves driving a vehicle downhill with the cruise control set to a first brake set speed value; detecting a current vehicle speed; applying a brake torque using at least one auxiliary brake to maintain the first brake set speed, which brake torque is dependent on a currently engaged gear; detecting a manual request for a downshift from a currently engaged gear to a lower gear, in order to decrease vehicle speed; and determining if a downshift is permissible at the current vehicle speed. If a control unit determines that a downshift is not permissible, then the control unit is automatically arranged to apply a brake torque using at least a vehicle service brake to retard the vehicle speed; to retard the vehicle from a current, first vehicle speed to a lower, second vehicle speed at which a downshift to a lower gear is permissible; and to perform a downshift to a lower gear when the second vehicle speed is reached. The cruise control brake set speed is set to a second brake set speed that is lower than the first cruise control brake set speed value; and a brake torque using at least the auxiliary brake is applied if a detected current vehicle speed exceeds the second brake set speed.

    Abstract: A brake ECU of a vehicle braking control device, during execution of brake pressurization control, performs actuation restriction control that restricts actuation of a motor as an arbitrary upstream fluid pressure (M/C pressure) that is the brake pressure input from the M/C side of the brake fluid pressure control actuator becomes higher. The brake ECU has a threshold value changing unit that sets at least the starting threshold value at a high level when the upstream fluid pressure (M/C pressure) is high compared to when low, and as actuation restriction control actuates the motor to pump out the brake fluid from inside of the reservoirs when the reservoir fluid volume exceeds the starting threshold value, and stops the motor when the reservoir fluid volume equals the stop threshold value.

    Abstract: A slope-descending speed control device 10 for a vehicle configured to control a vehicle deceleration so that an actual vehicle speed conforms to a target vehicle speed in accordance with a target deceleration Gxbt of a PID feedback control executed in accordance with a difference between a target vehicle speed Vxt and an actual vehicle speed Vx. In a situation where an actual vehicle speed is higher than a target vehicle speed, with a component in a hill-descending direction of gravitational acceleration of the vehicle at a time point when a condition for starting a slope-descending speed control is satisfied being a reference gravitational acceleration Gxd0, when a difference between a component Gxd in a hill-descending direction of gravitational acceleration and the reference gravitational acceleration Gxd0 is between upper and lower reference values, a target deceleration Gxbti of the integral term is not integrated to restrain its increase.
