The invention relates to an emergency braking device comprising an actuator (2), a pressurizing circuit (3) supplying the actuator (2) via a control pressure and a discharge circuit (4), characterized in that the discharge circuit (4) comprises means (13, 14) for controlling the pressure and/or flow rate of the supply fluid of the actuator (2) during a discharge of the actuator, these control means (13, 14) being configured to define an intermediate pressure between a low pressure level and the control pressure of the actuator (2).

A safety structure for a hand brake contains: a casing, a body, a roller rotatably, a first brake line, a second brake line, and a third brake line. The first brake line are connected with a first brake and a second brake of a vehicle, and the second brake line is coupled with a first controller on a left handle of the vehicle, the third brake line is coupled with a second controller on a right handle of the vehicle. The first brake line is bent in half and has two shoulders adjacent to the roller, and an outer diameter of each of the two shoulders is more than the first brake line so that when the first brake line is broken, at least one of the two shoulders stops inside the body or the casing, and at least one of the first and second brakes stops the vehicle.

An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electronic brake system, which includes different first and second hydraulic circuits configured to transmit hydraulic pressure, which is discharged in a low-pressure pressing mode state or a high-pressure pressing operation mode state of a hydraulic pressure supply device, to a wheel cylinder provided on at least one vehicle wheel, the electronic brake system including a plurality of valves provided in hydraulic pressure flow path that connects the hydraulic pressure supply device and the first and second hydraulic circuits, the plurality of valves being configured to regulate hydraulic pressure, a volume detection part configured to detect an input volume value of a pressure chamber produced when a motor piston is moved by a rotational force of a motor corresponding to a pedal effort measured by a pedal displacement sensor, and compute and detect, as a circuit volume value, a pressure value of the second hydraulic circuit measured by a pressure sensor, a determination part configured to compare the circuit volume value with the input volume value detected by the volume detection part, determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied, and determine whether a leakage occurs in the second hydraulic circuit, and a control part configured to perform control to stop the low-pressure pressing mode, switch the mode to the high-pressure pressing operation mode, and detect a leakage occurrence valve among the plurality of valves when the determination part determines that a leakage occurs.

A method for determining a leakage in a hydraulic brake system in a vehicle includes evaluating a suspected leakage in the hydraulic brake system and taking into account an actuation of an automated hand brake during the evaluation of the suspected leakage. The hydraulic brake system has a hydraulic footbrake and the automated hand brake has an electromechanical actuator. The hydraulic footbrake and the automated hand brake are configured to act on the same brake piston.

A brake device for a motor vehicle with two axles in which at least one axle has an electric traction motor for driving and braking at least one wheel arranged on an axle, and in which energy can be recovered by means of the traction motor during braking, each wheel having a wheel brake. The brake device includes a pressure supply having an electric motor-driven pump in the form of a piston-cylinder unit or a rotary pump, which can both build up pressure and reduce pressure, and which is part of a pressure supply device. An open-loop and closed-loop control device controls the traction motor and components of the pressure supply device such that a braking deceleration can be set by closed-loop control individually for each brake circuit, each axle or wheel brakes of an axle, with different braking torques at the respective axles or wheel brakes of an axle.

Methods for determining or estimating a first brake pressure for a first brake actuator. Methods are directed towards, for example, situations where a pressure-medium-actuated brake device of at least one first wheel, at which a brake-pressure buildup is necessary during a braking operation, at which for example, there is no first wheel-speed sensor. Methods are also directed towards situations, for example, where a first wheel-speed sensor does not produce a first wheel-speed signal. Methods include determining, measuring, or estimating, during the braking operation and/or during the execution of the controlling operation, a second brake pressure for a second brake actuator.
