Abstract

In order to correctly detect the frictional state of a running road surface, the running road surface is determined as a low-friction road surface, when tire lock is detected by tire lock detection device, and besides a state in which vehicle deceleration obtained by vehicle deceleration detection means is greater than a predetermined value, is shorter than a predetermined time in a period extending from the start of braking until the tire lock.
