Abstract
In response to depression of a brake pedal (), an electric brake () mounted on the rear side starts to generate a braking force at the time of stroke hbefore a fluid pressure brake () mounted on the front side starts to generate a braking force when the stroke reaches stroke h. Accordingly, the rear side is able to generate a braking force prior to the front side, whereby it is possible to reduce a rigid feeling, and therefore improve the pedal feeling.
