Abstract
A vehicle stop detecting apparatus including a detecting device for detecting a parking brake inoperative condition in a vehicle, and a signal generating device for generating a vehicle stop signal when a parking brake operative condition is generated after detection of the parking brake inoperative condition by the detecting device. Accordingly, in the case where a wiring is not properly connected, causing that the parking brake lever is in a position corresponding to the parking brake inoperative condition, the generation of the vehicle stop signal can be prevented. Further, a vehicle stop condition can be reliably determined with a simple construction.
