Abstract
Force of depressing operation of a brake pedal is estimated on the basis of an output torque of an internal-combustion engine computed by an engine ECU and acceleration of a vehicle detected by an acceleration sensor. When the estimated force of the depressing operation of the brake pedal is greater than or equal to a second determination value and the amount of depressing operation of an accelerator pedal detected by an accelerator operation amount sensor is greater than or equal to a first determination value, the output torque of the internal-combustion engine is restricted. Accordingly, acceleration and start of the vehicle due to simultaneous depressing of the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal can be restricted without providing a sensor for detecting the amount of the depressing operation of the brake pedal.
