Abstract
Automotive brake control is performed by controlling brake pressure at front and rear wheels independently. The braking force at each of the front and rear wheels is controlled in accordance with monitored vehicle driving conditions so that the steering characteristics of the vehicle are held to predetermined characteristics even when vehicular brakes are applied during cornering. The braking pressure at front wheels is decreased when understeer characteristics increases due to braking. On the other hand, the braking pressure at the rear wheel is decreased when oversteer characteristics increases due to braking.
