An automatic braking system and method are provided for controlling the automatic operation of a pneumatic (air) brake system installed on commercial highway vehicles and the like, particular heavy trucks and buses. When a possible collision is detected or an object is detected in proximity to at least one side and/or end of the vehicle, the system automatically operates the existing, factory installed air braking system of the vehicle to avoid a collision or mitigate the collision impact by concurrently pressurizing each of the rear and front pneumatic service brakes of the vehicle. Pressing the existing vehicle brake pedal deactivates the automatic braking system, thereby permitting the driver to take over control of braking at any time.

The invention has a purpose of obtaining a brake hydraulic pressure controller capable of attaching a coil casing to a base body with a simple configuration, a motorcycle brake system, and a manufacturing method of a brake hydraulic pressure controller.

In the brake hydraulic pressure controller, at least one projected portion is provided in the coil casing, at least one hole portion is provided in a surface of the base body to which the coil casing is attached, the coil casing is attached to the base body in a state where the projected portion is inserted in the hole portion, the projected portion includes a hook portion that bulges in a direction to cross a projected direction of said projected portion, the coil casing is held by the base body when a part of the base body abuts a surface of a base-side region that is a region near a base of the projected portion with a top of a bulge of the hook portion being a reference.

A vehicle brake system, including: a brake operation member to be operated by a driver of a vehicle; a hydraulic brake device provided for one of a front wheel and a rear wheel and configured to generate a hydraulic braking force in accordance with an operation of the brake operation member, the hydraulic braking force depending on a pressure of a working fluid; and an electric brake device provided for the other of the front wheel and the rear wheel and configured to generate an electric braking force in accordance with the operation of the brake operation member, the electric braking force depending on a motion of an electric motor.

A method for controlling a vehicle deceleration depending on a differential slip between two vehicle axles in a vehicle with an ABS brake system includes detecting at least one of a target vehicle deceleration specified by the driver and an actual vehicle deceleration; and controlling a braking pressure on wheel brakes of a vehicle axle to be controlled by actuation of ABS brake valves in such a way that the braking pressure on the wheel brakes of the vehicle axle to be controlled is controlled depending on a detected actual differential slip, so that the actual differential slip corresponds to a target differential slip. The actual differential slip indicates a difference in a rotational behavior of the vehicle axle to be controlled relative to a further vehicle axle. The target differential slip is dependent on at least one of the detected actual vehicle deceleration and the detected target vehicle deceleration.

Transportable system for the diagnosis, evaluation and prediction of leakages in hydraulic circuits of low pressure between 0 to 7 bar and of high pressure from 0 to 170 bar, quickly and safely for the operator is provided having a first independent circuit of high pressure and low flow and a second independent circuit of low pressure and high flow wherein the first independent circuit comprises: a first pressure subsystem, which delivers pressure to a first 4/3 valve with ports A, B, P and T, which is actuated by first solenoids, to deliver pressure to a first coupling A or to a first coupling B, in fluid communication with the ports A and B of the first 4/3 valve respectively a computer arranged to control the pressure of each pressure subsystem and associated method.

A brake system for a motor vehicle has at least a first wheel brake and at least a second wheel brake. A first inlet valve is fluidically connected, on the one hand, to the first wheel brake, and, on the other hand, to a brake pressure source, and a second inlet valve is fluidically connected, on the one hand, to the second wheel brake, and, on the other hand, to the brake pressure source. In this case, a switching valve is provided, which fluidically connects the one fluid outlet of the second inlet valve in a first switching position to the second wheel brake and in a second switching position to the first wheel brake.

A vehicle body speed estimation device and a vehicle body speed estimation method are provided for estimating a vehicle body speed of a four-wheel drive vehicle from a wheel speed of each wheel of the four-wheel drive vehicle. In the vehicle body speed estimation device and a vehicle body speed estimation method, a controller determines whether a deviation of at least two of the wheel speeds among the wheel speeds is within a first prescribed range. The controller switches a method for selecting the wheel speed used for estimating the vehicle body speed between a first method and a second method when a sign of a drive torque that is applied to each of the wheels is reversed and the deviation of at least two of the wheel speeds among the wheel speeds is within the first prescribed range.

The present invention obtains a control system and a control method capable of appropriately suppressing rear lift-up of a straddle-type vehicle. In the control system and the control method according to the present invention, damping forces of suspensions and a braking force generated to the straddle-type vehicle are controlled. Braking force adjustment control is executed to adjust the braking force generated to the straddle-type vehicle so as to suppress the rear lift-up that causes a rear wheel of the straddle-type vehicle to lift off from the ground, and initiation timing of the braking force adjustment control is controlled by using a physical quantity to which states of the suspensions are reflected.
