Abstract
An accelerator pedal device for a vehicle, performing a pedal reaction force control method. The accelerator pedal device is provided with an engine speed detection unit that detects the engine speed (Ne) and a reaction force control unit that controls, on the basis of the engine speed (Ne), a pedal reaction force (Fr) applied by a reaction force application unit. The reaction force control unit limits the reduction ratio of the pedal reaction force (Fr) when the reduction ratio of the engine speed (Ne) is greater than or equal to a predetermined value.
