Abstract
A control device includes: a first braking unit, that applies a first braking force to a steering wheel of a vehicle; a second braking unit, that applies a second braking force to a non-steering wheel of the vehicle; and a control device that controls the first braking unit, and the second braking unit, according to a target braking force, where the control device includes a steering angle information acquiring unit that acquires a steering angle-related value related to a steering angle of the steering wheel, and a distribution changing unit that executes a distribution change control of changing a braking force distribution between the first braking force and the second braking force based on the steering angle-related value when the target braking force is applied.

A braking control device comprising:
- a first braking unit that applies a first braking force to a steering wheel of a vehicle;
- a second braking unit that applies a second braking force to a non-steering wheel of the vehicle;
- and
- a control device that controls the first braking unit and the second braking unit according to a target braking force, wherein
- the control device includes
- a steering angle information acquiring unit that acquires a steering angle-related value related to a steering angle of the steering wheel, and
- a distribution changing unit that executes a distribution change control of changing a braking force distribution between the first braking force and the second braking force based on the steering angle-related value when the target braking force is applied, wherein
- the first braking unit is configured to be able to apply at least one of regenerative braking force and friction braking force to the steering wheel, and
- the second braking unit is configured to be able to apply at least one of the regenerative braking force and the friction braking force to the non-steering wheel, and
- the control device,
- executes a straight advancing stability control of increasing the regenerative braking force of the steering wheel by using the first braking force as the regenerative braking force or increasing the friction braking force of the non-steering wheel by using the second braking force as the friction braking force when improving straight advancing stability of the vehicle during turning of the vehicle, and
- executes a turning improvement control of increasing the friction braking force of the steering wheel by using the first braking force as the friction braking force, or increasing the regenerative braking force of the non-steering wheel by using the second braking force as the regenerative braking force when improving turning responsiveness of the vehicle during turning of the vehicle.
