BRAKE APPARATUS USING ELECTRIC BOOSTER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A brake apparatus using an electric booster may include: an electric booster connected to a master cylinder and configured to pressure a push rod by pressurizing a reaction disk using an electromotive force of a motor with a pedal stepping force of a driver who steps on a brake pedal, and pressurize a piston of the master cylinder through the push rod; and a control unit configured to compare required brake pressure by the pedal stepping force of the driver and current brake pressure by the motor control to set pressure, and perform cooperation control through an ESC (Electronic Stability Control) and cooperation control through the electric booster.
ELECTROHYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM
According to at least one embodiment, the present disclosure provides an electrohydraulic brake system including main brake assemblies, electronic parking brakes (EPBs), a main control unit, and a redundancy control unit (RCU). The main brake assemblies generate a braking force in one or more front wheels and one or more rear wheels of a vehicle. The electronic parking brakes (EPBs) generate a braking force to one of the front wheels and rear wheels. The main control unit is configured to control the operation of the main brake assembly. The redundancy control unit (RCU) is configured to control the operation of the electronic parking brake. Here, the redundancy control unit performs, upon determining that a malfunction occurs in a braking function of the main control unit, a slip control on the vehicle by using the electronic parking brake based on signals from one or more wheel speed sensors.

Method for Decelerating a Motor Vehicle during Emergency Braking Using an Electric Motor of an Electric Drive of the Motor Vehicle and a Braking Torque of a Service Brake System of the Motor Vehicle, and a Motor Vehicle
The invention relates to a method for decelerating a motor vehicle during emergency braking, wherein the entire emergency braking is automatically carried out by a longitudinal dynamics system of the motor vehicle, wherein, for emergency braking, a total braking torque is automatically generated by the longitudinal dynamics system of the motor vehicle, and, for this purpose, a first braking torque is generated at least as a proportion of the total braking torque by an electric motor of an electric drive of the motor vehicle in a time interval beginning with the automatic initiation of the emergency braking and shorter than the total duration of the emergency braking, in which time interval the total braking torque cannot yet be generated solely by a service brake system of the longitudinal dynamics system. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle.

A comprises a vehicle control unit, VCU, and a control module, CM, configured to control the torque actuators. The VCU is configured to send to the CM a parameter request and a desired recuperation power or a desired parameter split ratio. If the CM determines that these are conflicting targets, then based on one or more predefined criteria, the CM will apply a parameter value and allocate a recuperation power or a parameter split ratio such that the applied parameter value is different from the requested one and/or the allocated recuperation power or parameter split ratio is different from the desired one. A method of controlling a wheel is also disclosed.
