Abstract
A controller controls a hydraulic control device to generate a target braking force corresponding to the stroke of a brake pedal by adjusting a controlled hydraulic braking force portion generated by the hydraulic control device on the basis of the relationship with a master hydraulic braking force portion generated from the brake hydraulic pressure in a master cylinder and a regenerative braking force portion generated by a regenerative brake device. The regenerative brake device maximizes the regenerative braking force portion before the stroke of the brake pedal reaches an idle stroke, and thereafter, the hydraulic control device 5 starts braking by the controlled hydraulic braking force portion. When the stroke of the brake pedal reaches the idle stroke, the master cylinder starts braking by the master hydraulic braking force portion.
