Vehicle braking control device for braking force distribution

A braking control device for a vehicle executes braking force distribution (BFD) biased to front wheel in a manner compatible with Anti-skid control. In BFD control, braking force on rear wheels is held at a holding braking force and braking force on the front wheels is incremented beyond braking force requested by a braking action of a driver (S120). After the starting of BFD control, further increase in the braking action is reflected in the front wheel braking force. Upon detecting a terminating condition for BFD (S90) or upon starting anti-skid control for either of the wheels during the execution of BFD control (S140), an increment of the front wheel braking forces ( DELTA Pf) to be requested by BFD control is gradually decreased (S160). Simultaneously, the holding of the rear braking force is released (S190) so as to compensate for the shortage of braking force on the front wheel. The gradual decrease of the braking force increment prevents a conflict of BFD and Anti-skid control.
