Abstract
In a braking force control apparatus for realizing both of a BA control for generating a great braking force when an emergency braking operation is executed and an ABS control for restricting a slip ratio of a wheel, an interference between the BA control and the ABS control is prevented. It is determined whether or not the ABS control is executed with respect to at least one of front wheels (step,) when it is determined that the BA control is started. In the case that the ABS control is executed with respect to at least one of the front wheels, it is determined that a large amount of hydraulic pressure is fed to a wheel cylinder of a rear wheel at the same time when the BA control is started, thereby starting a BA slope restricting control for restricting an inlet thereof (step,). In the case that the ABS control is not executed in the front wheel, a normal BA control is started (step,).
