Abstract
A brake control apparatus includes a braking force generating section and a control unit. The braking force generating section generates braking forces at wheels of a vehicle. The control unit includes: a vehicle behavior calculating section configured to calculate dynamic behavior of the vehicle, wherein the dynamic behavior includes lateral acceleration, yaw rate, and rolling behavior; a first braking force distribution calculating section configured to calculate a first setpoint of distribution of the braking forces depending on the calculated lateral acceleration and yaw rate; a second braking force distribution calculating section configured to calculate a second setpoint of distribution of the braking forces depending on the calculated rolling behavior; and a braking force distribution control section configured to select one of the first and second setpoints depending on the calculated dynamic behavior, and operate the braking force generating section with a braking force request set to the selected setpoint.
