Abstract
In a vehicular braking control apparatus and method, the hydraulic pressure on a wheel cylinder is gradually reduced with a relatively gentle gradient of reduction (k3) at the time when a braking operation member, operated by an operating person of the vehicle, is detected to have been operated to a predetermined position. At the time when a state of the braking operation is detected to have reached a predetermined threshold, the hydraulic pressure on the wheel cylinder is reduced with a relatively great gradient of reduction (k2). Therefore, it is possible to reduce vibrations of a brake pedal or the change in deceleration while adopting a relatively simple construction.
