Abstract
A pressure reduction start distance is obtained (S) based upon a deceleration after an operation of an automatic brake. When an obstacle-to-vehicle distance between a vehicle and an obstacle ahead becomes a distance obtained by adding the pressure reduction start distance to a target stopping distance to the obstacle ahead, the reduction of the brake pressure is started (S) to suppress a pitching vibration generated before and after the vehicle stops. When the obstacle-to-vehicle distance becomes a stopping brake start distance that is just before the target stopping distance, the brake pressure is increased (S) so as to allow the vehicle to stop.
