Abstract
A brake control system for obtaining the optimal slippage ratio for stable braking of a vehicle, has a friction coefficient detecting device, a target slippage ratio setting device, a correction coefficient setting device and a target slippage ratio correcting device. The friction coefficient detecting device detects the coefficient of friction between each of wheels and a road surface. The target slippage ratio setting device sets up a target slippage ratio based on the coefficient of friction. The correction coefficient setting device detects the rate of change in the coefficient of friction and sets a first correction coefficient for calculating the target slippage ratio based on the rate of change in the coefficient of friction. The target slippage ratio correcting device multiplies the target slippage ratio by the first correction coefficient thereby to correct the target slippage ratio. Thus, the vehicle can be smoothly driven.
