A regeneration control unit adjusts an opening area of each of the low-pressure-side opening/closing device and the high-pressure-side opening/closing device, and selects alternately the low-pressure-side opening/closing device and the high-pressure-side opening/closing device as a destination with which the inertial fluid container communicates, to supply a discharged hydraulic fluid to an accumulator.

A vehicle control system includes a brake module operably coupled to a braking system to provide a braking torque request, a steering module operably coupled to a steering system to provide a steering input request, a power supply, and a power management module. The power supply is operably coupled to the brake module and the steering module to provide power to the brake module and the steering module.
