Abstract
A braking control device executes pre-stop braking control to adjust a braking force when a vehicle stops. The pre-stop braking control includes reduction control that reduces the braking force, and increase control that is executed before the reduction control is started, to increase the braking force. An increasing unit executes the increase control, and a reducing unit executes the reduction control. A calculation unit calculates a braking distance extended by the reduction control, as an extended distance, and calculates a braking distance shortened by the increase control, as a shortened distance. The calculation unit calculates the extended distance to become longer when an operation amount of a braking operation member operated by a driver is reduced during braking than when the operation amount is not reduced. When a difference between the extended distance and the shortened distance is less than a determination value, the reducing unit starts the reduction control.
