BRAKING CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR VEHICLE

A braking control apparatus for a vehicle including: a pedal stroke sensing unit configured to sense a pedal stroke of a brake pedal; a pedal simulator pressure sensing unit configured to sense pressure of a pedal simulator that provides a reaction force in response to a stepping force of the brake pedal; and a control unit configured to apply different computation methods by selectively utilizing a pedal stroke STR sensed by the pedal stroke sensing unit and pedal simulator pressure P_SIM sensed by the pedal simulator pressure sensing unit at a plurality of stages defined while the brake pedal is pressed and released, and decide required braking pressure P which is required for braking the vehicle.
