Patent ID: 7914085

Claim:
A brake control system for an automotive vehicle, comprising: a braking operation state detecting section configured to detect a braking operation state by a vehicle driver; a reference vehicle body deceleration setting section configured to set a reference vehicle body deceleration in accordance with the braking operation state detected by the braking operation state detecting section; a vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity setting section configured to set a vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity in accordance with at least one of a traveling velocity of the vehicle and an elapsed time of braking; and a braking force controlling section configured to control a braking force of each road wheel on a basis of an addition value of the reference vehicle body deceleration set by the reference vehicle body deceleration setting section and the vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity set by the vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity setting section, wherein the vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity setting section is configured to set the vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity to zero during a start of braking, to set the vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity to be gradually larger along with at least one of a decrease in the traveling velocity of the vehicle and an increase in the elapsed time of braking in a first region in which the traveling velocity of the vehicle is equal to or higher than a first predetermined traveling velocity, to set the vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity to a substantially constant value in a second region in which the traveling velocity of the vehicle is lower than the first predetermined traveling velocity, and to set the vehicle body deceleration increment correction quantity to zero in a third region in which the traveling velocity of the vehicle is higher than a second predetermined traveling velocity which is higher than the first predetermined traveling velocity.
