Abstract:
A braking force control apparatus for executing a brake assist control for causing a braking hydraulic pressure greater than that at a normal time to flow into a plurality of wheel cylinders from a high pressure source via an independent hydraulic pressure inlet passage when an emergency braking operation is executed by a driver and a braking hydraulic pressure control for executing a pressure reducing control for reducing a wheel cylinder pressure in a state of shutting off a hydraulic pressure inlet passage which communicates a wheel cylinder to be controlled and the high pressure source, comprising:a hydraulic pressure inlet restricting means for restricting, at a time of starting the brake assist control, an inlet of braking hydraulic pressure to at least one of the plurality of wheel cylinders in which the braking hydraulic pressure control is not executed when braking hydraulic pressure control is executed in at least one of the other of the plurality of wheel cylinders.
