An electric operating apparatus for a vehicle including an operational
member operated in accordance with a traveling request or a braking
request of a driver; and a reaction force adjuster that can electrically
adjust a reaction force of the operational member; and wherein a driving
force or a braking force is electrically controlled in accordance with a
requested operation applied to the operational member against the
reaction force; comprises (a) an operational information detecting device
for detecting operational information concerning a requested operation
applied to the operational member by the driver; (b) an environmental
information detecting device for detecting environmental information
concerning a driving environment of the vehicle; (c) a target pattern
setting means for setting a target pattern concerning the requested
operation based on the environmental information; and (d) a driving
support means for controlling the reaction force adjusted by the reaction
force adjuster based on the operational information so that the requested
operation is performed in accordance with the target pattern.
