摘要:
A brake control apparatus has wheel cylinders, hydraulic pressure supply sources pressurizing an inside of the wheel cylinder, control valves performing a pressure-raising/reducing control of the inside of the wheel cylinder, and at least two actuator units grouped according to a diagonal wheel cylinder system or a fore-and-aft wheel cylinder system, one of which has a main control section and the other of which has a sub control section. Both the control sections control the plurality of hydraulic pressure supply sources and the control valves based on a vehicle status amount input to both the control sections via communication lines. When the actuator unit in which the main control section is included becomes abnormal, the sub control section drives the hydraulic pressure supply source and the control valves belonging to the actuator unit of the sub control section and controls the internal pressures of the wheel cylinders.

A brake control apparatus includes an actuator configured to generate a braking force of road wheel; a first control unit configured to calculate a target braking controlled variable in accordance with an amount of brake manipulation of a driver; and a second control unit including a backup calculation section configured to calculate a backup target braking controlled variable, by receiving the amount of brake manipulation separately from the first control unit. The second control unit selects one of the target braking controlled variable and the backup target braking controlled variable in accordance with operating conditions of the first control unit and the second control unit. The second control unit outputs a drive signal to the actuator so as to bring the braking force of road wheel closer to the selected one of the target braking controlled variable and the backup target braking controlled variable.
摘要:
In a brake control device using a plurality of low-noise and low-vibration pumps, if one pump fails, when the other pump compensates the function of the failed pump to reduce the influence of the failure, there is fear that a driver is not aware of the failure in the brake control device or neglects and leaves the failure unrepaired even if the driver becomes aware of the failure. The invention effectively causes the driver to be aware of the occurrence of a failure in the brake device while continuously ensuring brake force. If a failure is detected, hydraulic pressure actuators are controlled so that the pulse of hydraulic pressure in wheel cylinders becomes larger than that before the failure is detected. Alternatively, two pumps different in pulse characteristic of discharge hydraulic pressure from each other are connected in parallel to the wheel cylinders.

In a brake control apparatus, a fluid passage section is hydraulically connected between a hydraulic pressure source and a wheel cylinder. A first pressure sensor measures a first quantity correlated to a hydraulic pressure outputted by the hydraulic pressure source. A second pressure sensor measures a second quantity correlated to an internal pressure of the wheel cylinder. A controller controls a braking force of a wheel by the wheel cylinder. The controller is configured to: allow the first pressure sensor to obtain a value of the first quantity, and allow the second pressure sensor to obtain a value of the second quantity, while allowing a selector to regulate fluid communication between the hydraulic pressure source and the wheel cylinder; and calibrate the first and second pressure sensors with respect to each other in accordance with the obtained values of the first and second quantities.

In an apparatus and method for a vehicular system, a control gain of a control signal to be outputted to the vehicular system is varied when a change in a weight of load applied to a vehicle body between an originally designed weight of load applied to a vehicle body and a present weight of load applied to the vehicle body occurs. The change in the weight of load applied to the vehicle body is determined according to a load mounted state determination signal R.sub.M which is derived on the basis of a front road wheel side vertical status variable and a rear road wheel side vertical status variable.

In a brake control apparatus with wheel-brake cylinders mounted on respective road wheels, a pump is provided to supply a fluid pressure to each of the wheel-brake cylinders by normal rotation of the pump. A control unit is provided to control rotational motion of the pump to bring an actual wheel-cylinder pressure of each of the wheel-brake cylinders closer to a target wheel-cylinder pressure. Also provided is a pump reverse-rotation suppression device that suppresses reverse rotation of the pump, only when the reverse rotation of the pump is detected.
