Abstract
A hydraulic brake control apparatus includes a pressure supply inhibiting unit which inhibits supply of a brake fluid pressure to wheel cylinders by a first pressure supplying unit when a defect in a brake fluid path between a first flow control unit and the wheel cylinders has occurred, and inhibits supply of a brake fluid pressure to the wheel cylinders by a second pressure supplying unit when a defect in a brake fluid path between a second flow control unit and the wheel cylinders has occurred. A pressure supply path control unit controls the first and second flow control units when a defect in one of a first brake fluid path between the first pressure supplying unit and the first flow control unit and a second brake fluid path between the second pressure supplying unit and the second flow control unit has occurred, such that a flow of the brake fluid from one of the first and second pressure supplying units connected to the defective path, into the wheel cylinders is inhibited, and a flow of the brake fluid from the other of the first and second pressure supplying units connected to the other path, into the wheel cylinders is allowed to supply the brake fluid pressure from the …
