Patent ID: 8544963

Claim:
A braking control apparatus comprising: first and second pumps each driven by a common driving source; a first fluid channel connecting a first wheel cylinder for generating braking force in a first wheel and the first pump; a second fluid channel connecting a second wheel cylinder for generating braking force in a second wheel and the second pump; a first control valve provided in a third fluid channel connecting a reservoir for retaining operating fluid and the first fluid channel; a second control valve provided in a fourth fluid channel connecting the reservoir and the second fluid channel; a target pressure determination means configured to determine each of a first target pressure, which is the target fluid pressure of the first wheel cylinder, and a second target pressure, which is the target fluid pressure of the second wheel cylinder; and a wheel cylinder pressure control means configured to supply the operating fluid to each of the first fluid channel and the second fluid channel by operating the driving source, and configured to control the opening/closing of the first control valve so as to make the first wheel cylinder pressure, which is the fluid pressure in the first wheel cylinder, approach the first target pressure, and configured to control the opening/closing of the second control valve so as to make the second wheel cylinder pressure, which is the fluid pressure in the second wheel cylinder, approach the second target pressure, wherein in the case where the first target pressure is smaller than or equal to a predetermined first reference pressure when the second control valve is to be opened so as to make the second wheel cylinder pressure approach the second target pressure, the wheel cylinder pressure control means reduces the driving force or rotational speed of the driving source.
