  • Braking force control apparatus for a vehicle
    Patent number: 11427173
    Abstract: A control unit for controlling an upstream braking actuator for generating upstream pressure and a downstream braking actuator for controlling braking pressures of four wheels using the upstream pressure is configured to, when a braking pressure of any wheel cannot be reduced, perform backup control so that the target upstream pressure becomes the target braking pressure of the relevant wheel, and is configured to, when performing anti-skid control in a situation where automatic braking and backup control are being performed, control the target upstream pressure such that the target upstream pressure becomes a target upstream pressure for the automatic braking when the target upstream pressure is the target braking pressure for the relevant wheel, and such that the target upstream pressure becomes the target braking pressure for the anti-skid of the relevant wheel when the target upstream pressure is not the target braking pressure of the relevant wheel.
