1. A vehicle brake control device for controlling brake pressures on left and right rear wheels at substantially the same pressure between the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel, said vehicle brake control device comprising:
- a detecting means for detecting a rear lift-up state in which a rear wheel is lifted from a driving surface when all of the following conditions are met;
(i) brakes of the left and right rear wheels are pressurized,(ii) a velocity of one of the rear wheels is greater than a maximum velocity of front wheels, and(iii) a deceleration of one of rear wheels is less than a first specified value;
whereby said detecting means detects that a rear wheel, which has a velocity greater than a maximum velocity of front wheels, is lifted from a driving surface.

Abstract
A brake control device for detecting a rear lift-up state of a vehicle, during braking, after a determination that: the driving surface has a high μ value; a rear wheel velocity is greater than a maximum front wheel velocity; and the same rear wheel has an acceleration within a specified range. Once the rear lift-up state is detected, and reference vehicle velocity is decreased by a specified value.

7. A vehicle brake control device for controlling brake pressure on left and right rear wheels at substantially the same pressure between the left rear wheel and the right rear wheel, said vehicle brake control device comprising of:
-
a detecting means for detecting a rear lift-up state in which a rear wheel is lifted from a driving surface, and a changing means for changing a reference vehicle velocity based on velocities of rear wheels when said detecting means detects a rear lift-up state wherein said changing means prohibits said reference vehicle velocity from being based on a velocity of the rear wheel.
