Original Abstract Submitted
A brake pedal device includes: a housing fixed to a vehicle; a brake pedal provided to be swingable about a predetermined axis with respect to the housing and to receive a depression operation of a driver; and at least three sensors that output signals according to an operation amount of the brake pedal. The at least three sensors include at least one magnetic sensor and at least two inductive sensors, for example. The at least two inductive sensors are spaced apart from each other such that a movement of a target metal of one inductive sensor is detected by a sensing coil of the one inductive sensor but a movement of a target metal of any other inductive sensors is not detected by the sensing coil of the one inductive sensor.
