Vehicular brake controlling apparatus

摘要

A vehicular brake controlling apparatus comprises: a brake unit to enable a suppression of boosting a braking liquid pressure independently of each wheel cylinder, each wheel cylinder operatively braking a corresponding one of vehicular front and rear road wheels according to the braking liquid pressure; a plurality of road wheel velocity sensors, each road wheel velocity sensor detecting a revolution velocity of the corresponding one of the road wheels and outputting a signal indicating the detected road wheel revolution velocity thereof; and a controller configured to be enabled to execute such a braking force distribution control function as to controllably operate the brake unit to suppress the boosting in the braking liquid pressure for the rear road wheels on the basis of a revolution velocity difference between the front and rear road wheels derived from the signals outputted from the respective road wheel velocity sensors when the revolution velocity difference is in excess of a predetermined start threshold value and to be enabled to execute a back-up control function for the braking force distribution control function on the basis of the signals outputted from the other road wheel velocity sensors which are operated normally when detecting an occurrence of failure in any one of the road wheel velocity sensors, the controller being configured to modify the predetermined start threshold value from a value used during the execution of the braking force distribution control function with all of the road wheel velocity sensors operated normally when executing the back-up control function.
