The present invention is directed to a brake control system for a vehicle, wherein a first valve device for opening or closing a main passage, which communicates a master cylinder with wheel brake cylinders, a hydraulic pressure pump for supplying the hydraulic pressure to the main passage, and a second valve device for opening or closing an auxiliary passage, which communicates the inlet of the pressure pump with the master cylinder, are disposed in each hydraulic pressure circuit of a dual hydraulic pressure circuit system.

A brake control apparatus includes a first valve for opening and closing a main line, a pump having an inlet port and an outlet port to supply pressurized brake fluid to a point between the main line and the wheel cylinder, an auxiliary line Mfc connecting the inlet port of the pump to a master cylinder, a second valve for opening and closing the auxiliary line, a brake operation sensor for detecting the operation of a brake pedal, and an electronic controller which controls the first valve, the second valve, and the hydraulic pump. The electronic controller judges the need for brake assist control based on the detection by the brake operation sensor and controls the first valve, the second valve and the pump to perform the brake assist control. The electronic control unit also controls the duty ratio for the second valve based on the detection of the brake operation sensor. According to the present invention, the duty ratio is determined based on the detection of the brake operation sensor when the brake assist control is judged to be necessary. The electronic control unit immediately drives the second valve with the determined duty ratio so that the pressure is promptly increased in the wheel cylinder in accordance with the driver's operation of the brake pedal.

In each pressure circuit, a modulator is arranged to modulate the braking pressure in each wheel cylinder, a pressure pump is disposed to supply pressurized brake fluid to each wheel cylinder through each modulator, a normally open first valve is arranged to open or close a first passage for communicating the master cylinder with the modulator, and a normally closed second valve is arranged to open or close a second passage for communicating a reservoir directly with the inlet of each pump, or communicating the reservoir with it through the master cylinder. The pressurized brake fluid is supplied to each pressure circuit including the second valve at the inlet of the pump to perform an auxiliary pressurization. In the case where at least the second valve in the first pressure circuit opens the second passage, and the auxiliary pressurization is performed, the communication between the wheel cylinders in the second pressure circuit is blocked, when the brake pedal is not depressed, and the wheel cylinders in the second pressure circuit is communicated with the master cylinder, when the brake pedal is depressed.

The present invention is directed to a braking force control system for an automotive vehicle having a hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus which is provided for applying the braking force to each of front and rear wheels of the vehicle at least in response to depression of a brake pedal. A desired yaw rate is set in accordance with a motion of the vehicle, and an actual yaw rate of the vehicle is measured. A varying rate of the desired yaw rate is calculated, and a varying rate of the actual yaw rate is calculated. Then, a deviation between the varying rate of the desired yaw rate and the varying rate of the actual yaw rate is calculated. And, a limitation unit is provided for actuating the hydraulic braking pressure control apparatus to limit the varying rate of the actual yaw rate by applying the braking force to at least one of the wheels, when the deviation exceeds a predetermined value. The limitation unit may be so constituted as to apply the braking force to a front wheel of the wheels which is located on the outside of a curve in the vehicle's path.

The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control system for maintaining vehicle stability by controlling the braking force applied to at least one of the driven wheels and non-driven wheels of a vehicle. A vehicle motion control is performed by applying the braking force to at least one wheel, on the basis of a condition of the vehicle in motion and irrespective of depression of a brake pedal. The braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause an increase in turning radius, when an excessive oversteer occurs during vehicle motion. Whereas, the braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause a decrease in turning radius, when an excessive understeer occurs during vehicle motion. In the case where an excessive braking to at least one of the driven wheels is detected, when an engine brake is exerted on the vehicle, a correction control is performed to increase the braking force applied to at least one of the non-driven wheels. For example, when an excessive slip rate of at least one of the driven wheels is detected, a desired slip rate of at least one of the non-driven wheels is corrected.

The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control system for maintaining vehicle stability by controlling the braking force applied to at least one of the front and rear wheels of a vehicle. Oversteer restraining control and/or understeer restraining control are performed by applying the braking force to at least one wheel, on the basis of a condition of the vehicle in motion and irrespective of depression of a brake pedal. In the oversteer restraining control, the braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause an increase in turning radius, when an excessive oversteer occurs during vehicle motion. Whereas, in the understeer restraining control, the braking force is applied to at least one wheel so as to cause a decrease in turning radius, when an excessive understeer occurs during vehicle motion. When the excessive oversteer and excessive understeer occur simultaneously or sequentially during vehicle motion, priority is given to the oversteer restraining control over the understeer restraining control with respect to at least one of the front wheels, while priority is given to the understeer restraining control over the oversteer restraining control with respect to at least one of the rear wheels.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a vehicle motion control system for maintaining vehicle stability by controlling the braking force applied to each wheel of a vehicle. The braking force applied to each wheel is controlled on the basis of outputs of the wheel speed sensors and the vehicle speed estimation unit. A limit value is calculated to a difference between a first estimated vehicle speed calculated for a second wheel located on the right side of the vehicle and a left estimated vehicle speed calculated for a left wheel located on the left side of the vehicle. The calculation of one of the first and second estimated vehicle speeds is limited in response to the limit value, so as to keep the estimated vehicle speed calculated for one of the right and left wheels rotating at a relatively low speed to be greater than a value subtracting the limit value from the second estimated vehicle speed provided for the other one of the right and left wheels rotating at a relatively high speed. For example, the limit value is calculated on the basis of a varying value resulted from at least a change in a coefficient of friction for each wheel of the vehicle, and varied in accordance with one of a plurality of control modes.
