Abstract

In a brake-by-wire vehicle brake system using a feedback control unit (12a, 12b, 31, 36, 45) for producing a brake fluid pressure according to a brake input, a response restricting unit (26, 39, 48) restricts a response property of the feedback control unit when an extraneous brake fluid control operation is detected. Thereby, the control unit is prevented from excessively reacting to changes in the brake fluid pressure caused by the extraneous brake fluid control operation, and the vehicle brake system can provide a highly responsive property and a resistance to changes in the brake fluid pressure at the same time.
