Abstract
A vehicle deceleration controller which is able to relatively reliably satisfy the intended deceleration of the driver irrespective of changes in the vehicle speed, the gradient of the driving road surface and the total weight of the vehicle includes a deceleration determining device that determines a required deceleration in accordance with the vehicle speed and the gradient of the driving road surface with reference to stored characteristic information, and an operation mode determining device that determines the required operation mode in accordance with the required deceleration determined by the deceleration determining device and the vehicle speed and the total vehicle weight with reference to stored characteristic information. An outputting device operates a braking force generating device with the required operation mode when it is determined that the accelerator has been released.
