Abstract:
A method for determining a vacuum degree threshold is provided including: e acquiring the current altitude signal of a vehicle; when the current altitude signal is invalid, acquiring a vacuum degree threshold and a standard working time, which correspond to a historical altitude signal received by an electronic vacuum pump of the vehicle last time, the vacuum degree threshold includes a vacuum degree turn-on threshold value and a vacuum degree turn-off threshold; acquiring the actual working time of the vacuum degree threshold corresponding to the historical altitude signal of the electronic vacuum pump when the current working cycle is completed; and when the difference between the actual working time and the standard working time exceeds a preset range, updating, according to the difference, the vacuum degree threshold corresponding to the historical altitude signal, and taking the updated vacuum degree threshold as a target vacuum degree threshold of the next working cycle.
Abstract:
R90 is a system that does not allow gear vehicles to go back without the driver's discretion. R90 also takes the brake pedal when the deviation is more than ninety degrees, while vehicle is out of the driver's control and the vehicle bottom moves forward from its head.
Abstract:
A method and a system for verifying normal operation of a negative pressure sensor of a brake booster is provided. The method and system verify whether the negative pressure sensor of the brake booster is in normal operation and the normal operation of the booster negative pressure sensor is detected by mutually verifying values measured by the booster negative pressure sensor and values measured by sensors that indirectly sense the booster negative pressure.
Abstract:
A method of securing brake booster negative pressure is provided. The method includes operating a purge pump that is connected to a canister having evaporation gas absorbed thereon and a brake booster and determining whether the evaporation gas is injected into an intake pipe by the operation of the purge pump. Whether a negative pressure of the brake booster is insufficient is determined and when the evaporation gas is being injected into the intake pipe and the negative pressure is insufficient, a degree of opening of a valve provided in a line connecting the canister and the purge pump is adjusted.
Abstract:
A method of controlling vacuum pressure for vehicle braking may include checking whether a vehicle is idle or enters a deceleration state, comparing an engine vacuum pressure and a booster vacuum pressure of the vehicle with a preset reference value, checking whether a valve control system of the vehicle is operable when the engine vacuum pressure and the booster vacuum pressure are lower less than the preset reference value, controlling the valve control system when the valve control system is operable; and controlling an air conditioner (A/C) or an alternator of the vehicle when the valve control system is inoperable.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a braking a vehicle. In one example, the braking system includes a friction braking system, a regenerative braking system, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the friction braking system and the regenerative braking system. The electronic processor is configured to receive a driver brake request and determine a brake failure state. The brake failure state indicates a brake failure. In response to determining the brake failure state, the electronic processor applies a braking force based on the driver brake request. The braking force includes a frictional braking force generated by the friction braking system and a regenerative braking force generated by the regenerative braking system.
Abstract:
Venturi devices are disclosed herein that include a body defining a Venturi gap between an outlet end of a converging motive section and an inlet end of a diverging discharge section, having a suction port in fluid communication with the Venturi gap, a gate valve linearly translatable to open and close the Venturi gap, and an actuator connected to the gate valve to operatively move the gate valve between an open position and a closed position. The gate valve, in a longitudinal cross-section, is generally U-shaped, thereby having continuous, opposing sides that one each close the motive outlet and the discharge inlet and defining a void between the opposing sides that is in fluid communication with the suction port. The converging motive section defines a circular-shaped motive inlet and defines an elliptical- or polygonal-shaped motive outlet, and the diverging discharge section defines an elliptical- or polygonal-shaped discharge inlet.
Abstract:
A method for actuating an electric vacuum pump of a brake booster including indirectly ascertaining a negative pressure in the brake booster. Depending on the indirectly ascertained negative pressure, and on a pumping capacity of the vacuum pump, ascertaining at least one activation parameter for the vacuum pump. Activating the vacuum pump in accordance with the activation parameter, when the indirectly ascertained negative pressure drops below a predefined minimum value.
Abstract:
A method for ascertaining a pressure-volume characteristic of a braking system of a vehicle, including determining at least a first pressure-volume value pair from a first pressure occurring in the braking system during a pressure rise and from a first volume displaced in order to produce the first pressure, a second pressure-volume value pair for a second pressure higher than the first pressure or for a second volume greater than the first volume being derived in consideration at least of the first pressure-volume value pair and of a volume difference for the first pressure and the second pressure, stored in the predefined pressure-volume characteristic curve, between a first volume indication associated with the first pressure and a second volume indication associated with the second pressure, or of a stored pressure difference for the first volume and the second volume between a first pressure indication associated with the first volume and a second pressure indication associated with the second volume.
