1. A brake control system for executing a braking of a vehicle, comprising:
- means for detecting driver braking intent;
an actuator that applies braking force to each wheel on the basis of the detected driver braking intent;
a road inclination detector that detects an inclination of a road on which the vehicle travels; and
a controller that changes a relationship between the driver braking intent and the braking force of each wheel according to the detected road inclination.

Abstract
A brake control system is comprised of a vehicle environment recognition device for obtaining vehicle environment including a road condition, an actuator for applying hydraulic pressure set at a target value to each wheel cylinder, and a controller for calculating the target value on the basis of the vehicle environment. The controller controls the wheel cylinder pressure by driving the actuator so as to adjusting the wheel cylinder pressure at the target value. Therefore, it becomes possible to ensure the same braking distance by the same depression degree of the brake even in various road conditions.
