A brake control device includes a first braking unit and a second braking unit for applying braking force to wheels of a vehicle. The second braking unit generates auxiliary braking force when actual braking force generated by the first braking unit is short by a predetermined amount. This brake control device includes a determination unit that determines whether a delay correlation value correlated with response delay of the actual braking force is within an allowable range when the auxiliary braking force is generated, and a control unit that executes auxiliary reduction control for reducing the auxiliary braking force when the determination unit determines that the delay correlation value is within the allowable range.

Brake control device

Provided is a vehicle braking control device applicable to a vehicle equipped with an electric-powered parking braking device, a hydraulic braking device and a regenerative braking device. The braking control device comprises a first braking control unit and a second braking control unit. When a parking braking operation is performed while the vehicle is travelling, the first braking control unit implements a first braking process which increases the braking force to the vehicle by operating the hydraulic braking device. When the braking force to the vehicle needs to be increased in a situation where the first braking process is being implemented, the second braking control unit implements a second braking process which increases the braking force to the vehicle by operating the regenerative braking device.
