Abstract
A vehicle controller is provided, including: a drive source generating drive torque in a vehicle; a brake applying braking force to wheels; a drive torque control unit controlling the drive torque; a braking force control unit controlling the braking force; an EPB operation instructing unit instructing operation of an electric parking brake; and an electric parking unit, including the parking brake and a driver driving the electric parking brake to cause the electric parking brake to operate in response to the EPB operation instructing unit. The drive torque control unit implements, based on an operation instruction status of the EPB operation instructing unit, driving force restriction control to restrict the drive torque, and when an operation instruction status becomes unknown while the driving force restriction control is implemented, the driving force restriction control is continued regardless of the operation status of the EPB operation instructing unit.
