Abstract
A brake, system includes a hydraulic brake that supplies a hydraulic pressure to a cylinder provided correspondingly to each wheel mounted on a vehicle, thereby pressing friction members against the wheels and applying a hydraulic braking force; an electric brake that is mounted on at least one wheel from among the wheels and applies a braking force to the wheel by drive of an electric actuator; and a controller that executes control of supply of hydraulic pressure to each wheel cylinder by the hydraulic brake and operation control of the electric brake, regardless of a braking request by a driver, and causes a transition from hydraulic braking force control of all of the wheels to hydraulic braking force control of the wheel on which the electric brake has been mounted, when a speed of the vehicle satisfies a condition during the hydraulic braking force control of all of the wheels.
