A vehicle pedal stroke detection apparatus acquires a first value based on a physical amount regarding a magnetic flux of a magnet that is output from a stroke sensor. The first value is a physical amount regarding a magnitude of a magnetic flux density of the magnet with respect to a displacement of a push rod. Then, the vehicle pedal stroke detection apparatus compares the first value and a second value. The second value is a preset physical amount regarding the magnitude of the magnetic flux density of the magnet with respect to the displacement of the push rod.

For operation of a hydraulic power vehicle braking system for autonomous driving, a brake pressure is generated using a second power brake pressure generator if, after a predefined first time span, no brake pressure or insufficient brake pressure has been generated using a first power brake pressure generator. The generation of the brake pressure using the second power brake pressure generator is aborted if, within a second time span, which is longer than the first time span, no error message is present from the first power brake pressure generator.

When an ON operation of an electric parking brake apparatus is performed when a vehicle is moving, a vehicle brake control apparatus executes an EPB stop process in order to stop the vehicle by braking force generated by a hydraulic brake apparatus. If a hydraulic brake malfunction wheel, at which the hydraulic brake apparatus cannot generate braking force properly, is detected during a time period from the beginning of the EPB stop process to the stop of said vehicle, the vehicle brake control apparatus makes the hydraulic brake apparatus stop generating braking force at wheels including the hydraulic brake malfunction wheel. Meanwhile, the vehicle brake control apparatus makes the electric parking brake apparatus start generating braking force at a rear wheel. Subsequently, the vehicle brake control apparatus makes the electric parking brake apparatus start generating braking force to the other rear wheel.
