PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a collision damage reducing brake device capable of obtaining the optimum braking force irrespective of the traction mode or the non-traction mode of a tractor, and preventing any unstable vehicle behavior such as a jackknife phenomenon, and its control method. SOLUTION: The collision damage reducing brake device comprises a pulled vehicle presence/absence determination block (32) and a control signal generation block (33) for generating the control signal for adjusting the braking force of a brake (B1) on a pulling vehicle (1) side and a brake (B2) on a pulled vehicle side. The control signal generation block (33) selects a control map (M1) for a case without any pulled vehicle if the pulled vehicle presence/absence determination block (32) determines that any pulled vehicle (2) is absent, or selects a control map (M2) for a case with the pulled vehicle if the pulled vehicle presence/absence determination block (32) determines that the pulled vehicle (2) is present.
