Patent ID: 8600637

Claim:
A device for controlling a braking of a vehicle having front and rear wheels, comprising: a braking system generating braking forces on the respective wheels, at least one sensor monitoring an operational condition of the vehicle including a detector detecting an amount of a braking action by a driver of the vehicle, and a controller that is configured to execute an anti-skid control and that is configured to execute a braking force distribution control in which braking force on the front wheels is increased in comparison with braking force on the rear wheels when an operational condition monitored by a sensor among the at least one sensor satisfies a predetermined condition, wherein: the braking force on the front wheels during execution of the braking force distribution control is increased, where a braking force increment on the front wheels is determined based upon an increment of the braking action by the driver detected by the detector; however, when execution of the anti-skid control for either of the front wheels is started during the braking force distribution control, the braking force increment on the front wheels is decreased during the braking force distribution control, and the decreasing of the braking force increment on the front wheels is interrupted if the anti-skid control is terminated but the increment does not reach zero.
