Patent ID: 8777335

Claim:
A brake control apparatus comprising: a master cylinder pressure detection section that detects a master cylinder pressure produced by driver's brake operation; a pump that draws brake fluid in a master cylinder and discharges the brake fluid to a wheel cylinder that is provided in a wheel; and a control unit that controls a wheel cylinder pressure in response to the detected master cylinder pressure, and has (a) a master cylinder pressure correction section that corrects the detected master cylinder pressure in accordance with a discharge flow quantity of the pump; and (b) a wheel cylinder pressure control section that controls the wheel cylinder pressure by the brake fluid discharged from the pump on the basis of the corrected master cylinder pressure, wherein a reducing master cylinder pressure is a master cylinder pressure reduction amount integral value obtained by integrating the master cylinder pressure that reduces at each predetermined time, and the master cylinder pressure correction section corrects the master cylinder pressure on the basis of the master cylinder pressure reduction amount integral value during the control by the wheel cylinder pressure control section.
