Brake control apparatus for a vehicle

摘要

An operated quantity of a brake pedal is detected based on a signal from a stroke sensor. A starting criterion to start brake assisting is determined with respect to an operational speed of the brake pedal in response to the operated quantity of the brake pedal. An operated-quantity change is calculated by differentiating the operated quantity of the brake pedal. It is determined whether the operated-quantity change exceeds the starting criterion. If the operated-quantity change exceeds the starting criterion, brake assisting is started by driving a pump to increase wheel cylinder pressure.
