This application provides a brake-by-wire system and a control method. This application is applicable to an intelligent vehicle, a new energy vehicle, a conventional vehicle, or the like. The braking control system includes: a brake master cylinder, a first pressure booster, a second pressure booster, at least one second control valve, at least one third control valve, at least one fourth control valve, and a second pedal feel simulation system. When a master brake system fails, a redundant brake system can independently control each brake wheel cylinder, to implement function backup for a master brake system, meeting requirements for braking functions such as ABS/AEB/ESC/TCS of a vehicle. The redundant brake system can further improve safety of the brake system and ensure pedal experience of a driver, thereby bringing more stable and comfortable driving experience to the driver.
