Braking control apparatus for vehicle

Abstract

A braking control apparatus for a vehicle includes four wheel braking apparatuses (WC<**>) for applying a braking torque to wheels, a first hydraulic pressure generating apparatus generating a hydraulic pressure, a vacuum booster (VB) generating an assist force for assisting a breaking operation, a first hydraulic circuit (LM, LW<**>), a second hydraulic circuit, a second hydraulic pressure generating apparatus (M, HP#) generating an assist hydraulic pressure that is added to the hydraulic pressure, a detecting portion (BS) for detecting a braking operation variable (Bs) and a pressure regulating portion (LV#), a target value determining portion for determining a first assist hydraulic pressure target value (SP#t) and a second assist hydraulic pressure target value (SP#t) to be both greater than zero over a range where the braking operation variable is greater than a predetermined value at which the assist force by the vacuum booster is started,; and a pressure regulating portion (LV#) for regulating the assist hydraulic pressure to mach the assist hydraulic pressure target value.

Description

Brake control device for vehicles technical field The present invention generally relates to a brake control device for a vehicle. Background technique As is well known, a vacuum type booster generates an assisting force to assist a brake operating force issued by a driver and applied to a master cylinder. By using a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure (hereinafter referred to as "negative pressure"), such as a manifold flow pressure of an internal combustion engine, the driver's braking operation is assisted according to a known vacuum type booster. Such assistance is hereinafter referred to as "vacuum assistance". Furthermore, it is known that a brake hydraulic pressure control device has a hydraulic pump for generating an auxiliary hydraulic pressure superimposed on the hydraulic pressure generated by a master cylinder, and a solenoid valve for regulating and controlling the auxiliary hydraulic pressure. By using the auxiliary hydraulic pressure, the driver's br...
