Braking control device for vehicle

A braking control device for a vehicle, comprising:

• a stroke sensor configured to detect an operating amount of a brake pedal;
• a stroke simulator configured to generate a reaction force of the brake pedal based on the operating amount of the brake pedal;
• hydraulic brakes configured to generate a braking force for wheels;
• and
• an electronic control unit (ECU) electrically connected with the stroke sensor, the stroke simulator, and the hydraulic brakes, the ECU including a processor and a memory storing software modules to be executed by the processor, the software modules comprising:
• a control module to control the stroke simulator and the hydraulic brakes;
• and
• a braking characteristic setting module configured to set a braking characteristic in which the reaction force according to a stepping force of the brake pedal and a deceleration of the vehicle have a logarithmic relationship, and when the reaction force is above a given reaction force, the control module controlling the hydraulic brakes based on the braking characteristic setting module while controlling the deceleration of the vehicle to be higher than a deceleration of the vehicle corresponding to the reaction force according to the logarithmic relationship.
