Patent ID: 7076357

Claim:
A device for controlling a braking of a vehicle having front and rear wheels, a braking system generating braking forces on the respective wheels, at least one means of acquiring a first value involved with rear wheel braking forces, said at least one means including a detector detecting an amount of a braking action by a driver of the vehicle, and the device starting execution of a braking force distribution control in which braking force on the rear wheels is lowered in comparison with braking force on the front wheels in response to a judgment of starting of braking force distribution control made based upon the first value involved with rear wheel braking force, wherein the judgment of starting of braking force distribution control is made based upon a second value involved with rear wheel braking force having a slower responsibility to the braking action than the first value when an increasing rate of the braking action by the driver detected by the detector is high for the judgment of starting of braking force distribution control.
