A method is provided for controlling braking force in regenerative brake cooperative control of an environmentally friendly vehicle that executes regenerative braking at front wheels and/or rear wheels. A brake system that independently adjusts the braking forces of the front and rear wheels is employed to distribute braking force to assure vehicle stability, to improve fuel efficiency and to have improved braking performance.

A vehicle body control system, a control method of the vehicle body control system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for performing the method may alleviate deterioration of steering performance of a vehicle when an electric power steering (EPS) system of the vehicle fails. The vehicle body control system includes a brake device configured to brake the vehicle, a detector configured to detect a failure of the EPS system, a steering sensor configured to detect an operation of a steering wheel of the vehicle to generate steering operation information, a controller configured to receive the steering operation information and generate a target yaw rate when the failure of the EPS system is detected, and control a brake device to generate a differential braking force required for the calculated target yaw rate.

The present disclosure in at least one embodiment provides a corner module for a vehicle, including a front-wheel corner module configured to drive a front wheel and including a front-wheel inwheel motor installed on the front wheel to generate a driving force and a friction braking device configured to generate a braking force on the front wheel, a rear-wheel corner module configured to drive a rear wheel and including a rear-wheel inwheel motor installed on the rear wheel to generate a driving force, a driving information detector configured to detect driving information of the vehicle, and an electronic control unit configured to control the front-wheel corner module to form a friction braking force by using the driving information and to control the rear-wheel corner module to form a regenerative braking force, wherein the front-wheel corner module uses the front-wheel inwheel motor that is provided with a lower specification than the rear-wheel inwheel motor to save the manufacturing cost, and the rear-wheel corner module has no friction braking device installed so that the rear-wheel inwheel motor is undamaged by heat.

A motorcycle braking arrangement comprising a brake lever (and/or brake pedal) defining a grasping or stepping surface, respectively, whereby a rider is able to apply pressure in order to produce a first analogue signal, a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) mounted on and/or in the surface and configured to produce a second analogue signal.

A method for dimensioning a component of a braking system; the braking system having at least two brake-circuit partial circuits; each brake-circuit partial circuit having at least one pump element for building up a brake-circuit pressure and/or for returning brake-circuit fluid in an ABS case, the pump elements of the at least two brake-circuit partial circuits being operable using a motor element; and the at least two brake-circuit partial circuits being separable using a separating element, so that different brake-circuit pressures may be created in the at least two brake-circuit partial circuits.

One embodiment provides a vehicle brake hydraulic controller including: an antilock braking controlling module configured to perform an antilock braking control in which a brake hydraulic pressure applied to wheel brakes is reduced under the condition that a slip-related amount has reached a pressure reduction threshold value; and a turning judging module configured to judge whether a vehicle is turning based on a steering angle, wherein, when the antilock braking control is performed and in the case that the turning judging module judges that the vehicle is turning, the antilock braking controlling module performs a turning pressure reduction control so as to: change the pressure reduction threshold values to be more easily reached by the slip-related amount than at the time of straight running; and change the pressure reduction amounts to be larger than that at the time of straight running.
