Abstract
A vehicle brake control device includes a brake member, a wheel brake cylinder mounted on a wheel, and a master cylinder. The master cylinder generates a master cylinder hydraulic pressure in response to an operating force applied to the brake member. The brake control device also includes an automatic pressure increasing control device, a braking force control device, a coefficient of friction detecting device that detects a coefficient of friction of the road, and an automatic pressure increasing restraining device. The automatic pressure increasing control device controls automatic pressure increasing operation of the master cylinder based on the operating force applied to the brake member. The braking force control device controls the increased master cylinder hydraulic pressure supplied to the wheel brake cylinder. The automatic pressure increasing restraining device restrains automatic pressure increasing operation of the master cylinder when anti-skid control is being performed with a low coefficient of friction.
