Abstract
A brake system includes an electric brake force generator which brakes a wheel using a driving force of an electric motor and an electric motor controller that performs a field-weakening control of the electric motor. The electric motor controller performs the field-weakening control of the electric motor which then operates the electric brake force generator. Thus, the rotational speed of the electric motor is increased when the field weakening control is performed by the electric motor controller thereby quickly activating the electric braking force generator to enhance response of brake force generation.
