Abstract:
1. A brake control apparatus comprising: a booster configured to increase an operation force exerted by a driver on a brake operation member to generate a hydraulic pressure in a master cylinder; a booster state detection unit configured to: a hydraulic control device configured to control a hydraulic pressure in a wheel cylinder to which the hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder is supplied; a hydraulic controller configured to control the hydraulic control device; a first communication line configured to be used to transmit the signal to the hydraulic controller; a second communication line arranged in parallel with the first communication line and configured to be used to transmit the signal to the hydraulic controller; and a booster unsteady state determination unit provided in the hydraulic controller and configured to determine whether the booster is in an unsteady state based on communication states of the signals transmitted via the first communication line and the second communication line.
