Claim 9:
10. A brake control apparatus that controls braking force on front wheels, and rear wheels of a vehicle, the brake control apparatus comprising:
a front-wheel-side braking mechanism that includes an electric hydraulic system, and a hydraulic circuit system, and applies braking force to the front wheels, and a rear-wheel-side braking mechanism that applies braking on a side of the rear wheels;
a backup brake that is actuated in accordance with a switch to the hydraulic circuit system when the electric hydraulic system fails, and applies braking force to the front wheel;
a skid determination threshold setting section that sets a skid determination threshold which is a value smaller than a speed of the vehicle; and
a braking force adjusting section that adjusts the braking force in accordance with the skid determination threshold, and a wheel speed of the vehicle, wherein
when the backup brake is actuated, the skid determination threshold setting section sets the skid determination threshold for the rear wheels on a basis of braking force information of the backup brake.
