Patent ID: 6964461

Claim:
A brake control apparatus, comprising: a first target vehicle deceleration operation portion for setting a first target vehicle deceleration determined in accordance with an amount of operation of a brake operating member; a second target vehicle deceleration operation portion for calculating a second target vehicle deceleration on the basis of said first target vehicle deceleration calculated by said first target vehicle deceleration operation portion; and an actuator for generating a brake force providing said second target vehicle deceleration calculated by said second target vehicle deceleration operation portion, wherein said second target vehicle deceleration operation portion sets limit values of a deceleration increasing gradient and a deceleration decreasing gradient with respect to said first target vehicle deceleration on the basis of the first target vehicle deceleration, and obtains said second target vehicle deceleration by correcting said first target vehicle deceleration on the basis of said set deceleration increasing and decreasing gradients.
