Abstract: Disclosed is a brake control apparatus which starts ABS control on the basis of slip ratio speed and which reduces a variation in the slip ratio at the time of start of the ABS control. A brake ECU computes a braking stiffness BS** in a linearly increasing region of a ?-S characteristic, and computes a slip ratio speed reference value dSref**/dt by dividing a changing speed dFxc**/dt of braking force of a wheel by the braking stiffness BS**. The brake ECU computes, as a slip ratio speed threshold, a value ((dSref**/dt)+dSn) by adding a slip ratio speed noise offset value dSn to the slip ratio speed reference value dSref**/dt and starts ABS control when the slip ratio speed dSc**/dt of the wheel exceeds the slip ratio speed threshold.

Abstract: Provided is a vehicle brake control device which is capable of suitably executing brake assistance processing, even if a sensor for detecting the pressure inside a variable-pressure chamber of a vacuum booster is not provided. A brake device is provided with: a vacuum booster for assisting an operation force inputted to a brake pedal; a master cylinder which generates MC pressure Pmc corresponding to the assisted operation force; wheel cylinders which are provided to wheels, and in which WC pressure is increased as the MC pressure Pmc is increased; and a brake actuator capable of adjusting the WC pressure. When it is determined that emergency braking is requested, a control device of the brake device sets, as the assistance limit pressure, the MC pressure Pmc at that point in time, and operates the brake actuator, to execute brake assistance processing for assisting WC pressure increase.
