Abstract:
1. A brake control apparatus for a vehicle having brakes for applying braking forces to wheels using respective brake friction members, the brake control apparatus comprising: brake controllers for individually controlling displacements of the brake friction members; storage units for storing drive data required for controlling the displacements; a vehicle-driving-state detector for detecting a physical value that indicates a driving state of the vehicle; and a vehicle controller for controlling the driving state of the vehicle using the brake controllers for each wheel on the basis of the detected physical value, wherein the vehicle controller acquires control data as a result of controlling the driving state of the vehicle, in which driving state a difference in braking force occurs between left and right vehicle wheels, using the brakes means, corrects the drive data stored in one or more of the storing units using the acquired control data, and updates the drive data stored in one or more of the storing units.
