Abstract
A step determination device includes an operation amount sensor that detects an operation amount of a braking operation member, and a controller that determines a step by using the wheel speed and the operation amount. In the step determination device, the controller calculates an actual variable amount by using the wheel speed, calculates an estimated variable amount corresponding to the actual variable amount by using the operation amount, and executes the determination of the step by using the actual variable amount and the estimated variable amount. For example, the controller determines the presence of the step when the deviation between the actual variable amount and the estimated variable amount is not less than a predetermined value, and determines the absence of the step when the deviation is less than the predetermined value.
