Abstract:
1. A braking control device comprising: a stroke sensor that detects a pedal depression amount of a brake pedal; a hydraulic actuator provided so as to be capable of increasing/decreasing wheel cylinder pressure; and a wheel cylinder pressure control portion that calculates a target wheel cylinder pressure by utilizing a detection result provided by the stroke sensor, and increases/decreases the wheel cylinder pressure by controlling the hydraulic actuator so as to achieve the target wheel cylinder pressure calculated, wherein the wheel cylinder pressure control portion determines whether or not the brake pedal has been sharply depressed, by utilizing a detection result provided by the stroke sensor in a range of the pedal depression amount that is smaller than the pedal depression amount that is to give braking force to a wheel, and relaxes a restriction on a hydraulic pressure gradient at a time of increasing the wheel cylinder pressure which is imposed when the brake pedal has not been sharply depressed, if it is determined that the brake pedal has been sharply depressed.
