Abstract
A brake control apparatus has a master cylinder pressure detection section that detects a master cylinder pressure produced by driver's brake operation, a pump that draws brake fluid in a master cylinder and discharges the brake fluid to a wheel cylinder that is provided in a wheel, and a control unit that controls a wheel cylinder pressure in response to the detected master cylinder pressure. The control unit has a master cylinder pressure correction section that corrects the detected master cylinder pressure in accordance with a discharge flow quantity of the pump, and a wheel cylinder pressure control section that controls the wheel cylinder pressure by the brake fluid discharged from the pump on the basis of the corrected master cylinder pressure.
