Braking force control apparatus and method for vehicle

In braking force control apparatus and method for an automotive vehicle, a front-and-rear road wheel braking force distribution determining section (S140) distributes a front-and-rear road-wheel braking force at a front-and-rear road-wheel braking force distribution toward front and rear road-wheel sides of the vehicle,in accordance with a vehicular turning state, to achieve a target deceleration. A vehicular deceleration developing section (S150-S190) develops the target deceleration on the basis of the front-and-rear road-wheel braking force distribution determined by the front-and-rear road wheel braking force distribution determining section (S140).
