A brake system for a utility vehicle includes: an electronic brake controller unit, a pneumatic parking brake circuit with at least one spring energy cylinder, a parking brake valve to control a parking brake pressure in the parking brake circuit, and at least one 3/3-way valve arranged in a pneumatic line of the parking brake circuit between the parking brake valve and at least one of the spring energy cylinders. The 3/3-way valve is actuable by the electronic brake control unit, and is configured to ventilate the pneumatic line between the 3/3-way valve and at least one of the spring energy cylinders to a predefined pressure, so as to cause the at least one of the spring energy cylinders to allow a brake, which is assigned to the spring energy cylinder, to pass into engagement.

This braking control device pumps a brake fluid from a reservoir to each wheel cylinder by one fluid pump and includes an electric motor which drives the fluid pump; and a controller which controls the electric motor. The controller calculates a target fluid pressure on the basis of at least one among the vehicle wheel speed, the vehicle deceleration state, and the turning state of the vehicle, calculates a target discharge amount for the fluid pump on the basis of the target fluid pressure, and controls the electric motor on the basis of the target discharge amount. The controller has a front wheel calculation map of the relationship between the fluid pressure and the inflow volume of the brake fluid corresponding to a front wheel cylinder, and a rear wheel calculation map corresponding to a rear wheel cylinder, and calculates the target discharge amount on the basis of the maps.

An operating device for a vehicle brake system may include a control device and a piston-cylinder unit, at least one chamber of which may be connected to at least one wheel brake via at least one hydraulic line and a valve device that has at least normally open inlet valves or switching valves. The device may further include a pressure source that may be controlled to supply pressure medium to the at least one hydraulic line or to the at least one wheel brake. The control device may control pressure build-up via volume control and/or time control, using inlet valves. The interior or armature chamber of an inlet valve may be connected to a corresponding brake circuit via a hydraulic line, and a valve seat outlet may be connected to a corresponding wheel brake via a hydraulic line.

A position of a center of gravity of a vehicle body is easily optimized. An ABS modulator is disposed in a vicinity of a pivot bracket, which is joined to a lower rear portion of a main frame, and to which a swing arm is swingably connected.

An aircraft hydraulic braking system having at least one hydraulic accumulator and a brake actuator. The at least one hydraulic accumulator is the sole source of pressurised hydraulic fluid in the aircraft hydraulic braking system for operating the brake actuator and thereby apply a braking force to a wheel on an aircraft.

An off-road vehicle includes a driveline, a control system, and a braking system. The driveline provides driveline power and driveline brake power to a first tractive assembly and/or a second tractive assembly. The control system stores vehicle information, determines driving instructions based on environment data, and determines speed references for tractive elements of the first and second tractive assemblies based on the driving instructions and the vehicle information. The braking system includes brakes and a braking subsystem. The brake subsystem operates the brakes to provide brake power to one or more components of the first and/or second tractive assemblies. The brake controller controls the brakes to selectively provide the brake power and the control system controls the driveline to selectively provide the driveline power and the driveline brake power based on current speeds of the tractive elements and the speed references to accommodate the driving instructions.

An Anti-lock Braking System and control method are disclosed. The control method is performed after a control module intervenes a vehicle's braking system and comprises: receiving a wheel speed signal of a wheel and a vehicle acceleration signal; computing a tire-slip feedback value according to the wheel speed signal of the wheels and the vehicle acceleration signal; generating a feedback control voltage according to a tire-slip difference between a tire-slip target value and the tire-slip feedback value; generating a tire-slip compensation value by performing a differential compensation to the tire-slip feedback value; obtaining a feedforward voltage according to the tire-slip compensation value via a look-up table approach; generating a braking control voltage by adding the feedback control voltage to the feedforward voltage; and outputting the braking control voltage to a proportioning-valve brake, such that the proportioning-valve brake adjusts a braking pressure according to the braking control voltage.
