Brake Control System

A brake control apparatus for a vehicle configured to detect an amount of brake-pedal operation by means of an electric signal, then to calculate a braking force demanded by a driver from the electric signal, and thereby to generate the demanded braking force, wherein

• a control mode according to which a braking force is generated by the brake control apparatus is switched from a normal control mode to a stationary-vehicle control mode, if a determination that the vehicle is in a stationary state is followed by another determination that an electric signal corresponding to an actual braking force exceeds a command value for a first stationary-vehicle braking force to be generated while the vehicle is in the stationary state,
• the control mode according to which a braking force is generated by the brake control apparatus is switched from the stationary-vehicle control mode to the normal control mode, if it is determined that the demanded braking force calculated from the amount of the driver's brake-pedal operation becomes smaller than a command value for a second stationary-vehicle braking force, and
• the command value for the second stationary-vehicle braking force is smaller than the command value for the first stationary-vehicle braking force.

A brake control apparatus for a vehicle configured to detect an amount of brake-pedal operation by means of an electric signal, then to calculate a braking force demanded by a driver from the electric signal, and thereby to control an electric booster device so that the demanded braking force is generated, wherein
