Abstract
A braking force distribution control device for an automotive vehicle is designed to make it possible to initiate a braking force distribution control as rapidly as possible upon rapid braking operation while at the same time being capable of preventing a malfunction of the braking force distribution control even when one of hydraulic pressure lines fails. The braking force distribution control establishes a predetermined relationship between the wheel cylinder pressure of a front wheel and a wheel cylinder pressure of a rear wheel on the basis of a comparison between the wheel speeds of the front and rear wheels. The braking force distribution control is initiated when the decelerations of all the wheels exceed a set value.
