Abstract
A brake control device, wherein control is executed that keeps braking force generated to wheels of a vehicle to a predetermined value or more when detected operating pressure has reached a control determination value, the detected operating pressure being operating pressure input to a brake operating member in a state that the vehicle stops and applied to a working fluid in response to operation force increased using negative pressure generated in an internal combustion engine of the vehicle and being the operating pressure detected by an operating pressure detecting unit, and when the detected operating pressure has exceeded dead point operating pressure which is the operating pressure at a negative pressure dead point at which an effect of increase of the operation force using the negative pressure disappears, at least any one of the detected operating pressure and the control determination value is corrected and the control is executed based on the corrected value. Therefore, the brake control device can appropriately keep the braking force.
