  • Patent number: 10173658
    Abstract: In a vehicular brake device, while a brake operating member is not operated and a wheel cylinder pressure supplying control is executed to supply the target wheel cylinder pressure to the respective wheel cylinders individually, the vehicle control device sets the target servo pressure to a first predetermined target servo pressure which is a value smaller than a maximum output pressure of the servo pressure generating device. When the execution of the wheel cylinder pressure supplying control starts, the vehicle control device sets the target servo pressure to be the target wheel cylinder maximum value when a firstly occurred rising inclination of the target wheel cylinder maximum value is equal to or more than a minimum increment of an output of the servo pressure generating device per unit time and at the same time when the target wheel cylinder pressure is smaller than the first determined target servo pressure.
