Braking control apparatus

A braking control apparatus for a vehicle, the braking control apparatus comprising:

• a contact detector configured to detect a contact between the vehicle and an object;
• and
• a braking control unit configured to perform a post-crash braking control by controlling a braking device of the vehicle to generate braking force in response to the contact detector detecting the contact,
• wherein, while the post-crash braking control is being performed, the braking control unit is further configured to:
• determine whether an amount of operation of an accelerator operation device of the vehicle becomes equal to or greater than a first threshold;
• in response to determining that the amount of operation of the accelerator operation device becomes equal to or greater than the first threshold, determine whether the amount of operation of the accelerator operation device becomes equal to or less than a second threshold that is less than the first threshold;
• in response to determining that the amount of operation of the accelerator operation device becomes equal to or less than the second threshold, determine whether the amount of operation of the accelerator operation device becomes equal to or greater than a third threshold that is greater than the second threshold, and
• in response to determining that the amount of operation of the accelerator operation device becomes equal to or greater than the third threshold, cancel the post-crash braking control.
