Patent ID: 7949455

Claim:
A brake control apparatus, which is used in a vehicle having wheels on left and right sides, and controls a braking force provided to each of the wheels, comprising: a vehicle body speed calculating section for obtaining a vehicle body speed of the vehicle; a steering angle calculating section for obtaining a steering angle of a steering wheel of the vehicle; and a control section for carrying out brake control during turning, wherein the brake control during turning is executed in order to provide a braking force to a wheel on the inner side with respect to a vehicle turning direction in the case where the absolute value of the steering angle is equal to or greater than a preset threshold value of the steering angle, wherein, in the case where the vehicle body speed is less than a preset speed threshold value, the control section carries out the brake control during turning such that the braking force provided to the wheel on the inner side with respect to the vehicle turning direction is smaller than the braking force in the case where the vehicle body speed is equal to or greater than the speed threshold value.
