Patent ID: 8380415

Claim:
A brake control apparatus provided with pressurization control means whereby, in a case where a pressurization force is applied to a wheel cylinder disposed in individual wheels of a vehicle and a braking force is generated, a pump is driven at a requested motor rotational speed based on the pressurization force so that brake fluid is fed to the wheel cylinder; and the position of a pressure regulation valve disposed in a circulation channel for circulating a portion of the fed brake fluid to the pump is controlled and the pressurization force is regulated; the brake control apparatus comprising: characteristics storage means for storing in advance a temporal change of the wheel cylinder pressure in a case that the pressure regulation valve has been set in a closed state and the pump has been driven at an unambiguous motor rotational speed in relation to the wheel cylinder pressure; and adjusting motor rotational speed computation means for computing, in relation to a target pressurization gradient of the pressurization force imparted to the wheel cylinder, a adjusting motor rotational speed for yielding the target pressurization gradient on the basis of the temporal change of the stored wheel cylinder pressure.
