Abstract
A brake control device includes: an object detector; and an ECU configured to (a) determine, based on an output of the object detector, whether a predetermined condition that there is a possibility that the vehicle collides with the object, is satisfied; (b) apply an automatic brake when it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied; and (c) stop applying the automatic brake when an operation amount of an accelerator operation unit of the vehicle becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold. The ECU also continues applying the automatic brake when a specified condition including a condition that an operation amount of a brake operation unit of the vehicle is larger than a predetermined amount is satisfied even when it has been determined that the operation amount of the accelerator operation unit becomes equal to or larger than the predetermined threshold.
