A braking control device, when stopping a vehicle in a state where a braking force is being applied to the vehicle, executes a reducing control of reducing the braking force corresponding to a braking request before the vehicle stops and executes an increasing control of increasing the braking force corresponding to the braking request before the reducing control in order to suppress vehicle pitching behavior generated when the braking force is applied to the vehicle. The control device sets braking force increase amount in the increasing control based on a difference distance that is a difference between a first distance correlated with a vehicle traveling distance from a reduction start timing when the reducing control is executed until the stopping of the vehicle and a second distance correlated with a vehicle traveling distance from the reduction start timing when the reducing control is not executed until the stopping of the vehicle.

The disclosure relates to a sensor assembly, having a housing, which has a cylindrical depression with a lateral wall which is closed in the circumferential direction of the depression, and having a cover which is assigned to the depression and bears at least one sensor unit, the cover having a cylindrical insertion portion which is partially inserted axially into the depression so that it is radially opposite the lateral wall at least in some regions, and the insertion portion being held axially in the depression by means of an interlocking connection. According to the disclosure, the interlocking connection has an elastically deformable C-ring, which is arranged coaxially with the insertion portion and is held axially between a first axial stop of the insertion portion on one side and a second axial stop of the lateral wall on the other side.

This vehicle control device is provided with: a control unit for executing one-pedal control, that is, the control for accelerating a vehicle when a single pedal is depressed from a predetermined reference point of a pedal stroke, and for decelerating the vehicle when the pedal is released from the reference point; and a determination unit for determining whether or not a rate of change in a pedal operation amount when the pedal is released is equal to or greater than a first threshold value. The control unit performs control for increasing a braking force when the rate of change is equal to or greater than the first threshold value.
