Braking Control Device

A braking control device for a vehicle having a master cylinder for amplifying a brake operating force and generating a master cylinder hydraulic pressure, a hydraulic circuit for applying the master cylinder hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder of each vehicle wheel, and an assist hydraulic pressure generation mechanism for adding an assist hydraulic pressure to the master cylinder hydraulic pressure through pressure of a pump in the hydraulic circuit,

• the braking control device comprising:
• a brake operation detection section for detecting a brake operation before the master cylinder hydraulic pressure is generated;
• an estimation section for estimating a hydraulic pressure generation timing at which the master cylinder hydraulic pressure is generated, on the basis of detection information of the brake operation detection section;
• and
• a hydraulic pressure control section for controlling operation of the assist hydraulic pressure generation mechanism by using the hydraulic pressure generation timing estimated by the estimation section as a reference.
