A brake control system includes a wheel cylinder, a brake pedal, a master cylinder in which communication between it and an external master cylinder reservoir is cut off when the operating amount of the brake pedal is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, an internal reservoir, and a pump which selectively discharges hydraulic fluid in two directions, one being a direction that increases the hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinder by drawing up hydraulic fluid from the internal reservoir, and the other being a direction that stores hydraulic fluid in the internal reservoir. The pump is driven to discharge hydraulic fluid in the direction that stores hydraulic fluid when communication is open between the master cylinder and the master cylinder reservoir, and driven to discharge hydraulic fluid in the direction that increases the hydraulic pressure when communication is cut off between the master cylinder and the master cylinder reservoir. A further invention is directed to a brake control method.

In the negative pressure doubling device of the invention, a threshold line is set for starting a BA operation at a pedal stepping speed not less than a set speed, and the inclination of the threshold line is set equal to that for a servo ratio (SR2) smaller than a servo ratio (SR1) for normal brake operation in a low input region (small pedal stepping force region), while in a high input region (large pedal stepping force region) it is set equal to the size of a servo ratio (SR1) during normal brake operation. That is, the threshold line for starting the BA operation is adjustable for low input and high input. And even if the brake pedal is stepped at a stepping speed not less than the set speed in spite of not being in an emergency, the BA operation is not performed; thus, unnecessary BA operation is prevented. In an emergency and when the brake pedal is stepped at a stepping speed not less than the set speed and with more than a set stepping force, the BA operation is performed.

Provided are a vehicle braking system and a master cylinder which are capable of providing a good pedal feel.

Required performance in case of failure of the booster is realized by a pressure-intensifying unit.
