Abstract
A brake control system comprises a simulator (4) for disconnecting a master cylinder (1) from a wheel cylinder (3) to vary the volume of the master cylinder in response to output pressure from the master cylinder when a brake is applied, and a wheel cylinder pressure control device (10) for controlling pressure supplied to the wheel cylinder. The wheel cylinder pressure control device includes a first pressure chamber (23) connected to the wheel cylinder, and a pressure control piston (18) for varying the volume of the first pressure chamber.
