Abstract
A reaction force control system configured to control a reaction force applied to a pedal without reducing an operational feeling. A controller reduces a reaction force applied to the pedal mildly from a second reaction force to a first reaction force at a rate D upon satisfaction of a predetermined condition. The rate D is determined based on a depression of the pedal, a pedal force applied to the pedal, an elapsed time, or a predetermined function.
