PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking aid vehicle for preventing the deterioration of trafficability on a bad road and preventing self-propelling on an inclined plane.SOLUTION: Walking aid vehicle control program to be performed by a CPU during the assist traveling of a walking aid vehicle includes: a step for determining whether the grip push force of a user is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold (S450); a step for turning on a stop brake (S410) when a fixed time elapses after the elimination of grip push force (YES in a step S460) in a case where the grip push force of the user is equal to or less than the threshold; a step for performing movement control (S440) when the grip push force of the user is not equal to or less than the predetermined threshold (NO in the step S450); and a step for performing movement control (S440) when the fixed time does not elapse after the elimination of the grip push force (NO in the step S460).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】悪路での走行性の低下が防止され、斜面での自走が防止される歩行補助車を提供する。【解決手段】歩行補助車がアシスト走行中にＣＰＵが実行する制御は、使用者がグリップを押す力が予め定められた閾値以下であるか否かを判断するステップ（Ｓ４５０）と、使用者がグリップを押す力が当該閾値以下である場合において、グリップを押す力がなくなってから一定時間が経過したときに（ステップＳ４６０にてＹＥＳ）、停止ブレーキをオンにするステップ（Ｓ４１０）と、使用者がグリップを押す力が予め定められた閾値以下でない場合において（ステップＳ４５０にてＮＯ）、移動制御を実行するステップ（Ｓ４４０）と、グリップを押す力がなくなってから一定時間が経過していない場合に（ステップＳ４６０にてＮＯ）、移動制御を実行するステップ（Ｓ４６０）とを含む。【選択図】図４
