Abstract

A process for calculating estimated vehicle speeds on the basis of wheel speeds of the vehicle wheels and a value resulting from addition of an offset value corresponding to an output error including a dispersion component and a slope component of an output from a longitudinal acceleration/deceleration sensor to a detection value detected by the longitudinal acceleration/deceleration sensor. In a condition in which it is determined that a vehicle is traveling at a substantially constant speed for a relatively long period of time, a first correction amount is calculated from an average value of variations in wheel speeds and an average value of outputs from the longitudinal acceleration/deceleration sensor during the long period of time. In a condition in which it is determined that the vehicle is traveling at a substantially constant speed for a relatively short period of time, a second correction amount is calculated from the average value of variations in wheel speeds and the average values of outputs from the longitudinal acceleration/deceleration sensor during the short period of time. An amount of correction of the zero point of the longitudinal acceleration/deceleration senso…
