Braking force control apparatus

A braking force control apparatus configured to control a braking force applied to each of wheels of a vehicle, the braking force control apparatus comprising:

• a fluid pressure generation mechanism configured to generate a fluid pressure associated with a required braking force corresponding to a braking request, as a required fluid pressure, when the braking request is made;
• a braking mechanism provided in each of the wheels and includes a rotary member that rotates together with each of the wheels, and a braking member that is able to come into contact with the rotary member, the braking mechanism being configured to apply a braking force depending on the required fluid pressure to each of the wheels through pressing of the braking member against the rotating rotary member due to the required fluid pressure;
• and
• an electronic control unit configured to;
• control the fluid pressure generation mechanism,
• specify whether a vehicle state of the vehicle is a running state or a stopped state, and
• perform, when the required fluid pressure is generated and the specified vehicle state shifts from the running state to the stopped state at a first time point, stop-time boost control to boost the required fluid pressure at and after the first time point.
