Abstract
A braking control device includes: a wheel deceleration deriving section that derives decrease rates of wheel speed detection values as wheel deceleration calculation values; an average value deriving section that derives an average value of the wheel deceleration calculation values of wheels FL, FR, RL, and RR as a wheel deceleration average value; a determination section that determines, based on the wheel deceleration average value and an anteroposterior deceleration detection value, whether or not a slip increase state has been occurring for a determination time or longer; and a detection section that detects occurrence of cascade lock when it is determined that the slip increase state has been occurring for the determination time or longer during vehicle braking.
