The present disclosure relates to a braking control device that executes an anti-skid control for reducing a braking force when a difference between a target deceleration and an actual deceleration of a vehicle is greater than or equal to a reference value in a braking state in which the braking force is applied to a wheel according to an increase in the target deceleration of the vehicle, the braking control device including a control unit that executes a specific control for reducing an intervention degree of the anti-skid control as a response delay of the actual deceleration with respect to the increase in the target deceleration in the braking state becomes larger.

The objective is to suppress a delay in the response of pressing force of an electric brake, when braking and non-braking are alternately repeated in an electric-brake control apparatus. An electric-brake control amount calculation unit of an electric-brake control apparatus according to the present disclosure calculates a control amount for securing a clearance between a brake pad and a brake disk, based on a position of the brake pad, calculated by a position calculator at a non-braking time, and secures the clearance by changing the control amount in two or more separate steps at a time when the braking is switched to the non-braking. As a result, it is made possible to obtain an electric-brake control apparatus that can suppress a delay in the response of pressing force of an electric brake, when braking and non-braking are alternately repeated.

The second controller ECB reads in the detected value Smn as a second processing value Smb and transmits the second processing value Smb to the first controller ECA via the communication bus CMB. The first controller ECA reads in the detected value Smn as a first processing value Sma, receives the second processing value Smb, and, on the basis of the first processing value Sma and the second processing value Smb, determines the suitability of the first processing value Sma.
