BRAKE APPARATUS FOR VEHICLES

A brake apparatus for vehicles may include: a regenerative brake unit configured to perform a regenerative braking operation of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle; a master cylinder configured to form master braking hydraulic pressure using an operation of an actuator to apply, to front wheels and rear wheels of the rear-wheel-drive vehicle, frictional braking force determined by subtracting regenerative braking force generated by the regenerative brake unit from braking force demanded by a driver; and a valve unit configured to adjust the master braking hydraulic pressure formed by the master cylinder so that the frictional braking force is differentially applied to the front wheels and the rear wheels, and to restrict braking force for the rear wheels from being increased by regenerative braking force applied to the rear wheels.
