A vehicle brake system and method for increasing the brake pressure in a first wheel brake cylinder and for limiting the brake pressure in a second wheel brake cylinder of a vehicle brake system. The method includes increasing a first brake pressure in the first wheel brake cylinder by controlling/holding a wheel inlet valve in its open state and controlling/holding a first wheel outlet valve in its closed state, and limiting an increase of a second brake pressure in the second wheel brake cylinder during the transfer of brake fluid into the first wheel brake cylinder by controlling/holding a second wheel inlet valve in its closed state and controlling a second wheel outlet valve into its open state. The second wheel outlet valve is controlled with a pulse width-modulated signal so that during the transfer of brake fluid, the second wheel outlet valve is permanently in its open state.

The present invention makes it possible to avoid the risk of a brake operation system for emergency stopping not operating normally during autonomous travel of a work vehicle. A work vehicle is provided with: a foot brake for braking left and right rear wheels; an autonomous travel unit that enables autonomous travel of the vehicle; and an electric actuator for switching the foot brake between a braking state and a release state. The autonomous travel unit comprises a control unit for controlling the operation of the electric actuator. When an autonomous travel mode is selected by human operation of a mode selection unit, the control unit performs operation verification processing in which it is verified by operation control of the electric actuator whether the foot brake is operating normally, and when it is verified that the foot brake is operating normally in the operation verification processing, said control unit transitions to a completed operation verification state and allows the travel mode to transition from a manual travel mode to the autonomous travel mode.

A braking control system of a vehicle includes a pressure control device that regulates brake fluid flow to a brake caliper of a wheel from a brake fluid cylinder. A pressure sensor measures a pressure of the brake fluid applied to the brake caliper. A filter module filters the measured pressure based on a rotational frequency of the wheel. The filtering produces a filtered pressure of the brake fluid applied to the brake caliper. A target pressure module sets a target pressure for the brake fluid for application to the brake caliper. A difference module determines a pressure difference between the filtered pressure and the target pressure. A pressure control module actuates the pressure control device based on the pressure difference.
