Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for controlling automatic stop/restart of an engine, includes: an automatic-stop/restart-control-unit which stops/restarts the engine; a brake-pressure-detection-unit which detects brake pressure in a brake system and controls the brake pressure to perform anti-skid control; a first-determination-unit which determines whether the brake pressure is not less than a first-threshold; a second-determination-unit which determines whether the brake pressure is not less than a second-threshold larger than the-first threshold; a stop-allowing-unit which allows the automatic-stop/restart-control-unit to stop the engine while the engine operates, when the first-determination-unit determines that the brake pressure is not less than the first-threshold and the second-determination-unit determines that the brake pressure is less than the second-threshold; and a stop-inhibiting-unit which inhibits the automatic-stop/restart-control-unit from stopping the engine while the engine operates, when the-first-determination-unit determines that the brake pressure is less than the first-threshold and the second-determination-unit determines that the brake pressure is not less than the second-threshold.
