Abstract:
A braking force distribution control device for an automotive vehicle having a plurality of wheels, comprising:wheel speed detecting means for detecting a wheel speed of each of the plurality of wheels; wheel deceleration calculating means for calculating a wheel deceleration of each of the plurality of wheels based on the wheel speeds detected by the wheel speed detecting means; and braking control means for controlling a braking force of a rear wheel to execute a braking force distribution control in such a manner that a braking force of the rear wheel is adjusted to have a predetermined relationship to a braking force of a front wheel depending on a comparison between the wheel speed of the front wheel and the wheel speed of the rear wheel based on the wheel speeds detected by the wheel speed detecting means, the braking control means initiating the braking force distribution control when at least one of the wheel decelerations of the plurality of wheels exceeds a set value.
