Abstract
A brake override system detects a brake operation based on master cylinder pressure when the brake operation followed by an accelerator operation results in simultaneous performance of the accelerator operation and the brake operation. The brake override system detects the brake operation by a brake switch when the accelerator operation followed by the brake operation results in the simultaneous performance of the accelerator operation and the brake operation. Thus, the system may accurately detect the brake operation regardless of the order of the accelerator operation and the brake operation.
