ABSTRACT:
A brake control apparatus includes a vehicle sensor to sense a vehicle condition, and a control unit to start a hill hold control to hold a vehicle in a stop state by a braking force produced by a brake actuator even after an end of the driver's braking operation, in accordance with a hill hold control start adjustment parameter determined from the sensed vehicle condition. The parameter may be a variable indicative of a gradient of a road.
