Abstract
A brake system capable of accurately controlling a braking force includes a first and second brake devices that have different control accuracies, and a brake control device that controls a braking force of the first and second braking devices according to a required braking force. The brake control device has a first control mode in which the braking force of the first brake device is controlled to be smaller than the braking force of the second brake device, and a second control mode in which the braking force of the first brake device is increased rather than the first control mode. The second brake device is controlled so that a sum of the braking force of the first brake device and the braking force of the second brake device matches the required braking force.
