摘要:
The invention discloses an automatic brake system for motor vehicles which serves to shorten the stopping distance by means of propulsion motor vehicle control signals while simultaneously lowering the required costs. According to the invention, means are provided which ensure pre-filling of the wheel brakes when a control signal which represents the motion of the gas pedal when the actuating force is discontinued is received by the brake system control unit.
摘要:
A brake-by-wire control system for aircraft brakes is presented. The system includes a hardware based discrete component control path and a software control path, the two operating in parallel. Each of the paths monitors the same input, with the hardware path being configured to enable the shutoff valve driver and the software path being configured to inhibit the shutoff valve driver, depending upon the status of the inputs. As a consequence, a failure in a single path in the braking system cannot enable the brake system so as to allow for inadvertent braking.

The adaptive brake application and initial skid detection system allows rapid brake application and prevents deep initial skids. Brake torque is compared with a predetermined threshold brake torque. Wheel velocity error signals are also generated to indicated the difference between the wheel velocity and a reference velocity signal. A torque bias modulator integrator responsive to brake torque signals adjusts the wheel velocity error signals to provide an anti-skid control signal. The torque bias modulator integrator can also be initialized to the value of the measured brake torque when the wheel velocity error signals indicate the beginning of a skid. Brake torque difference signals are generated to indicate the difference between brake torque and a commanded brake torque, and an adjusted brake torque error signal is generated in response to the brake torque difference signals.

A brake device for an automotive vehicle includes an arrangement ensuring that, under defined conditions, braking is initiated already prior to brake pedal application. To this end, an accelerator pedal sensor (4) and a shift lever contact switch (5) are provided, and braking is initiated as soon as the accelerator pedal is released at a speed which is higher than a limit speed, and the contact switch on the shift lever is not actuated.
摘要:
A method for determining parameters for the viscosity or temperature of a brake fluid of a vehicle by way of a predetermined pressure build-up within time limits in at least one defined section of a brake circuit and for detecting a pressure in the said section and/or a time which is required for the build-up of the said pressure.
摘要:
An apparatus for determining the direction of locomotive travel while in dynamic braking is disclosed. This direction of travel is derived from current sensors associated with the locomotive traction motors. When in the dynamic braking mode, current flows through the current sensors in a first direction when a train is traveling in the first direction and reverses the direction of flow when the train is traveling in a second direction.
摘要:
In a braking system including a plurality of independently operable hydraulic brake assemblies, a controller is provided for monitoring the hydraulic pressure at at least some of the brake assemblies and for comparing that pressure with a brake control demand signal so that all or substantially all brake assemblies can be brought into operation if that comparison indicates a requirement for additional or full braking operation.
摘要:
A method controls a vehicle brake system having a service brake and a retarder in a mutually coordinated manner. The retarder is activated during each braking operation and is controlled as a function of the driver's braking desire as well as of driving condition values, road condition values and operating conditions of the vehicle (integrated operation of the retarder).

A combination brake and anti-lock system for a wheeled vehicle such as an aircraft includes an operator controlled source of pressurized hydraulic fluid for selectively applying hydraulic pressure to a hydraulically actuated wheel rotation braking device which responds to the applied hydraulic pressure to apply a braking force to a wheel of the vehicle to thereby arresting wheel motion. There is a low pressure hydraulic fluid return with a normally open hold valve in circuit between the source and the braking device for selectively opening and closing a fluid flow path from the source to the braking device and a normally closed decay valve in circuit between the braking device and the return for selectively opening and closing a fluid flow path from the braking device to the return. A wheel speed sensing device provides an indication of the rotational speed of the wheel and a valve control responds to an indication of a skid indicative wheel speed irregularity from the sensing device to close the normally open valve and open the normally closed valve. The valve control may be disabled manually by an operator on command or automatically upon detecting an anti-skid malfunction.
摘要:
An electrically actuated braking system (30) of the type having a plurality of brake actuators (35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49) disposed on a carrier housing (13) to selectively apply a braking force to effect the restraint of wheel rotation has the particular actuators employed during a braking event determined, at least in part, by monitored wheel motion. The system (30) reduces brake energy consumption and heat generation during slow speed operations, reduces braking induced vibration, and compensates for individual actuator failure. The system (30) includes a first circuit for energizing only a first proper subset of the plurality of the brake actuators (35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47, 49) upon occurrence of a braking command (59); a second circuit for energizing only a second proper subset of the plurality of brake actuators upon occurrence of a braking command; and wheel motion monitors (51, 53) providing control signals for selectively enabling the first circuit and not the second circuit in response to certain of the control signals, the second circuit and not the first circuit in response to other of the control signals, and both the first and second circuits in response to still other of the control signals. Typically, there are four disjoint proper subsets the union of which comprises all actuators for the given brake. Preferably the first and second circuits each energize exactly one brake actuator. In one form, the first and second circuits are both energized during normal braking while the first, but not the second, is energized during slow speed taxi or towing operation. In another form, the first subset comprises all properly operating brake actuators while the second comprises all malfunctioning brake actuators and the second circuit remains un-energized.
