The brake force control device includes a road-surface condition acquisition portion configured to acquire a road-surface condition indicative of a condition of a road surface where the vehicle travels, and in a case where the road-surface condition acquisition portion acquires a plurality of conditions as the road-surface condition, the brake force control device controls the brake force in a mode different from respective controls on the brake force based on the conditions.

A damping force control device 10 comprises vary damping shock absorbers, a detector, and a controller. Each of the shock absorbers sets damping coefficient from a minimum value to a maximum value in order to adjust damping force. The detector detects vertical vibration state quantity relating to vibration of the sprung mass. The controller performs an ordinary control for setting the damping coefficient based on the vertical vibration state quantity and according to a predetermined control law suitable for an assumption that all of the wheels touch ground. The controller performs, when at least one of the wheels is an ungrounded wheel which does not touch the ground and each of the other wheels is a grounded wheel which touches the ground, a specific control for setting the damping coefficient of the shock absorber corresponding to the grounded wheel to a first specific value greater than the minimum value.

Provided is a control apparatus, a control method, and a control system for an electric vehicle that can prevent or reduce an unnecessary torque fluctuation on a wheel not targeted for slip control. A control apparatus for an electric vehicle limits a torque to be output to a non-target wheel according to a torque output to a target wheel after target wheel slip control is started, and updates a limit value of the torque to be output to the non-target wheel when a fluctuation range of the torque output to the target wheel falls within a predetermined range during the limitation.

A brake system has a wheel brake and is operable under a non-failure normal braking mode and a manual push-through mode. The system includes a master cylinder operable by a brake pedal during a manual push-through mode to provide fluid flow at an output for actuating the wheel brake. A first source of pressurized fluid provides fluid pressure for actuating the wheel brake under a normal braking mode. A secondary brake module includes a plunger assembly for generating brake actuating pressure for actuating the wheel brake under the manual push-through mode.

A braking control apparatus controls driving of an electric motor. The braking control apparatus drives the electric motor to increase a braking force when the wheel speed sensors detect wheel speed pulses from at least two wheels after a start to maintain the braking force.
