Braking control device
First Claim
1. A braking control device for a vehicle having a master cylinder for amplifying a brake operating force and generating a prescribed master cylinder hydraulic pressure, a hydraulic circuit for applying the prescribed master cylinder hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder of each vehicle wheel, and an assist hydraulic pressure generation mechanism for adding an assist hydraulic pressure to the prescribed master cylinder hydraulic pressure through pressure of a pump in the hydraulic circuit,the braking control device comprising:
- a brake operation detection section for detecting a brake operation before the prescribed master cylinder hydraulic pressure is generated;
an estimation section for estimating a hydraulic pressure generation timing at which the prescribed master cylinder hydraulic pressure is generated, on the basis of detection information of the brake operation detection section; and
a hydraulic pressure control section for controlling operation of the assist hydraulic pressure generation mechanism by using the hydraulic pressure generation timing estimated by the estimation section as a reference.

Abstract
Braking discomfort applied to the driver is minimized. Provided are a brake operation amount section (26) capable of detecting a brake operation before a master cylinder hydraulic pressure is generated; an estimation section (28) for estimating the hydraulic pressure generation timing at which the master cylinder hydraulic pressure is generated, on the basis of detection information of the brake operation amount section (26); and a hydraulic pressure control section (29) for controlling the operation of an assist hydraulic pressure generation mechanism (D) by using the hydraulic pressure generation timing estimated by the estimation section (28) as a reference.
