Abstract

To prevent an operational feeling from deteriorating due to an operation of the other brake operating member under a superior braking condition caused by one brake operating member in a vehicle brake control device in which a pair of brake operating force transmission systems are connected to a single wheel brake, each of brake operating force reducing means capable of weakening the brake operating force transmitted to the wheel brake is arranged at both brake operating force transmission systems. When the brake operating force is transmitted only from one of the brake operating force transmission systems TB, TC to the wheel brake BF, the brake operating force reducing means installed at the other of the brake operating force transmission systems TB, TC operates to restrict the brake operating force transmission from the other brake operating force transmission system to the wheel brake BF under a state just before starting an operation of the brake operating force reducing means installed at one brake operating force transmission system.
