Abstract:
1. A device for controlling braking force of a vehicle, the vehicle having front and rear wheels and braking force generating apparatuses provided for each of the wheels, the device executing a braking force distribution control operation that restricts an increase of a braking force on the rear wheels, generated by the braking force generating apparatuses of the rear wheels, to provide a braking force distribution among the front and rear wheels, biased to the front wheels, under a predetermined condition, wherein as the front wheel braking force increases during execution of the braking force distribution control operation, the device controls the braking force generating apparatuses of the front wheels to increment the front wheel braking force beyond the braking force increase by an amount based on a restricted amount of the braking force on the rear wheels.
