A controller and a control method of a motorcycle brake system including a brake operator, a wheel braking assembly, and a controller. The controller is configured to perform a lean angle obtainment step during turning, and perform a positive gradient setting step. The positive gradient corresponds to the lean angle obtained. The controller is also configured to initiate a braking force suppression operation in states where the motorcycle makes a turn and increases input to the brake operator. This operation is executed to increase braking force generated by the wheel braking assembly in a smaller positive gradient of hydraulic pressure in a wheel cylinder than a positive gradient of hydraulic pressure in a master cylinder when the braking force on the wheel depends only on the input to the brake operator. The braking force suppression operation is initiated in the positive gradient when an initiation reference is satisfied.

A vehicle is a vehicle on which an ADK is mountable. The vehicle includes: a VP that controls the vehicle in accordance with an instruction from the ADK; and a VCIB that serves as an interface between the ADK and the VP. The VP outputs a brake pedal position signal in accordance with an amount of depression of a brake pedal by a driver, and outputs a brake pedal intervention signal, to the ADK through the VCIB. The brake pedal intervention signal indicates that the brake pedal is depressed, when the brake pedal position signal indicates that the amount of depression is larger than a threshold value, and indicates beyond autonomy deceleration of the vehicle, when a deceleration request in accordance with the amount of depression is higher than a system deceleration request.

A method and associated apparatus for emergency stopping of a vehicle which has an electronic control unit (ECU) and speed sensors on each ground engaging wheel with other conventional components of a motor vehicle wherein once the apparatus for rapid stopping of a motor vehicle is activated, the brakes will stop the forward motion/rotation of each wheel and once the rotation of the tire is ceased the transmission is activated such that the tire will be driven in the reverse rotation until the vehicle is stopped, once the vehicle is stopped the transmission is placed into the original position or into park.

Disclosed is a method of controlling an electronic stability control (ESC) integrated braking system, which includes, when a failure in which pressure is unable to be formed in a master cylinder unit is detected during braking of a vehicle by the ESC integrated braking system, maintaining, by a controller, a braking force applied during the braking by closing designated oil pressure relief valves for coupling the master cylinder unit and a flow channel of a circuit, and when pressure (PC1) of a pedal cylinder becomes equal to or greater than pressure (MC1) of the circuit based on the maintained braking force, by a brake pedal stepped on by a driver, controlling, by the controller, the designated oil pressure relief valves to be in an open state and then switching the state of the designated oil pressure relief valves to a mechanical backup state.

A brake assistance system comprising a brake pedal, a booster motor, a simulation motor, a planetary row coupling node, and a brake master cylinder, where the brake master cylinder is configured to provide a braking force for the vehicle. The brake pedal, the booster motor, and the simulation motor are separately coupled to the planetary row coupling node. The planetary row coupling node is configured to convert a torque of the brake pedal, a torque output by the booster motor, and a torque output by the simulation motor into an acting force acting on a piston rod in the brake master cylinder.

An electronic parking brake control system and method for controlling a parking brake of a vehicle. The system includes an electronic parking brake variable switch configured to produce an application signal based on an amount or an amount of time the switch is pulled upward or pushed downward. The system also includes an indicator configured to indicate an amount of application of the parking brake based on the application signal. The system also includes an electronic brake unit coupled to the electronic parking brake variable switch. The electronic brake unit is configured to receive the application signal, and transmit a rear brake signal to a plurality of rear brake actuators to apply a plurality of rear brakes based on the application signal when a speed of the vehicle is below a threshold speed or the vehicle is in a low gear.

Provided is a control device configured to control an instrument configured to indicate a state of a moving body. The control device comprises a braking information acquisition unit configured to acquire braking information about a braking force of a braking unit configured to brake the moving body, and a display control unit configured to control display of the instrument, based on the braking information acquired by the braking information acquisition unit. The braking information includes at least one of (i) first braking information, which indicates a present setting, of a plurality of settings relating to the braking force of the braking unit and (ii) second braking information indicative of a present value of the braking force of the braking unit.

A light weight, low cost, failsafe aircraft hydraulic brake control system featuring a park-on-return function that enables antiskid and differential brake control when selecting the parking brake for emergency braking, a paired wheel shuttle function that provides backup to a failed brake control channel without the addition of a backup brake control system, configurable as a system of identical autonomous brake control pods, each containing all the valves and sensors for controlling a subset of brakes thus limiting a worst case failure to affecting just those brakes, simplifying the hydraulic system installation and creating a complete reusable standard hydraulic brake control module.

Complete or predominant use of regenerative braking in electric motorcycles rather than hydraulic braking may lead to brake discs and pads that are below an optimum operating temperature. To reduce the risk of accident, an indicator warns motorcycle riders that the brakes are below optimum operating temperature. With this knowledge, riders are prepared to apply extra braking force when slowing down, particularly in an emergency situation. Relative application of the regenerative brake and hydraulic brakes may be controlled to raise the temperature of the brakes so that they are primed.

In an embodiment, a brake control system determines a brake pedal travel value and a brake actuation position based on a brake pedal travel sensor and a motor actuation sensor of an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). The brake control system determines a first threshold value based on the brake actuation position. The brake control system determines a deviation of the observed brake pedal travel value from the brake actuation position or the raw brake pedal sensor value are above the first threshold value and detects an intention of an operator to apply a brake control in response to determining that the deviation is above the first threshold value. This way, brake intervention can be detected prior to steady state and detection of an operator intervention is robust and reliable.
