Brake control device for vehicles

A brake control device for a vehicle including a regenerative generator connected to one or more of wheels of the vehicle, a rotation member fixed to one or more of the wheels, and a friction member configured to be pressed against the rotation member, the brake control device for the vehicle comprising:

• a pressure adjustment unit including an electric pump and a pressure adjustment valve, and configured to adjust adjustment liquid pressure of a pressure adjustment fluid path between the electric pump and the pressure adjustment valve;
• and
• a controller configured to control the electric pump and the pressure adjustment valve, wherein
• the controller is configured to
• before starting a replacement operation to replace a regenerative braking force by the regenerative generator with a friction braking force by the adjustment liquid pressure, perform preceding pressurization to increase the adjustment liquid pressure from zero and maintain the adjustment liquid pressure at a predetermined liquid pressure which causes an entire sliding surface of a friction material of the friction member to come into contact with the rotation member without affecting deceleration of the vehicle, and
• after performing the preceding pressurization, increase the adjustment liquid pressure greater than the predetermined liquid pressure by increasing a rotation speed of the electric pump, and then execute the replacement operation.
