Systems and device configurations are provided for reducing misstep, such as miscommunication between a vehicle and a driver that results in applying the incorrect pedal. Vehicle pedal configurations having a positioning element are described. Embodiments include pedal configurations having a pedal pad and at least one positioning element to adjust the pedal pad in response to pedal misstep. Pedal adjustment can include rotation of a pedal pad, rotation of portions of a pedal pad, and multibody pedal pad configurations. According to embodiment, a pedal pad includes vibrational elements to control vibration of the pedal. Embodiments are also directed to a pedal configuration including a flip plate. Systems are provided including a controller to control a pedal configuration and positioning elements. The controller may control the pedal based on a driving mode, such as an assistive driving state wherein operator is instructed to apply a pedal.

A vehicle pedal device including a transmission member that transmits an operation force applied to a pedal, a reaction force lever that is disposed on the transmission member so that the reaction force lever pivot about a predetermined axis, and that outputs the operation force transmitted to the transmission member to a brake device against a biasing force of a load spring, and a depressing force detector that is fixedly attached to a pedal arm of the pedal or to a sub lever coupled to the pedal arm and that receives a reaction force of the reaction force lever to detect the operation force applied to the pedal, the depressing force detector being configured to have a positioning pin projecting from the depressing force detector. the pedal arm of the pedal or the sub lever coupled to the pedal arm being configured to have a positioning pin insertion hole in which the positioning pin of the depressing force detector is inserted. the depressing force detector being configured to be fixed to the pedal arm or the sub lever with the positioning pin being pressed against an inner peripheral edge of the positioning pin insertion hole by a reaction force of the load spring, and the load spring being fixedly positioned between the reaction force lever and the depressing force detector.

A brake device includes a brake pedal, an input rod, a master cylinder, a guide rail, a slider, and a coupling arm. The brake pedal is rotatable using an arm rotary shaft disposed on one end of a pedal arm used as a fulcrum. A pedal force input to the brake pedal is transmitted to the input rod as a thrust. The master cylinder is configured to generate a brake hydraulic pressure responsive to the thrust input to the input rod. The guide rail is disposed on the pedal arm and extends along a longitudinal direction of the pedal arm. The slider is coupled to the pedal arm via the guide rail and is movable on the guide rail. The coupling arm has a first end rotatably coupled to the slider and a second end rotatably coupled to the input rod. The second end is different from the first end.
