A method is disclosed for mitigating wheel hop of a motor vehicle. The method may involve detecting an oscillation of a wheel speed of a driven wheel of the motor vehicle of the motor vehicle. When oscillation of the wheel is detected, a low amplitude, high frequency ripple braking signal is applied to a brake caliper associated with the wheel to modulate a braking action acting on the wheel.

A method of controlling a vehicle including providing a system having a plurality of brakes and a curve detecting mechanism. Each brake of the plurality of brakes is configured to slow rotation of a respective wheel. The method further includes detecting a curve in a forward travel path of the vehicle using the curve detecting mechanism. At least two brakes but fewer than all of the plurality of brakes are pre-filled in response to the detection of a curve.

A method for controlling brakes may comprise receiving, by a controller, a yaw rate from an inertial sensor, calculating, by the controller, a force correction, calculating, by the controller, a pressure correction, and adjusting, by the controller, a pressure command for a brake control device.

Provided is a vehicle turning control device that can stabilize a vehicle by performing yaw moment control considering a tire grip limit and gives no uncomfortable feeling to a driver even if the control is switched from the yaw moment control to control for stabilizing the attitude of the vehicle. The vehicle turning control device includes a target yaw rate calculation module (25), a yaw moment calculation module (27), a yaw rate deviation calculation module (29), a road surface frictional coefficient calculation module (24), and a control gain calculation module (26). The control gain calculation module (26) causes a yaw response characteristic used in the target yaw rate calculation module (25) to approach a reference yaw response characteristic from a predetermined yaw response characteristic as a calculated yaw rate deviation increases or as an estimated road surface frictional coefficient decreases.

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 comfort brake control system and a brake method for a vehicle is disclosed. The comfort brake control system includes: a human-machine interaction interface, configured to provide an interface of multiple optional comfort brake levels of the vehicle, and receive selection of one of the multiple comfort brake levels to switch a current comfort brake level of the vehicle, wherein each comfort brake level comprises a brake parameter corresponding to the comfort brake level, and the brake parameter comprises at least brake pressure and a brake pressure change rate of at least one brake cylinder of the vehicle; and a comfort brake module, configured to determine whether a current state of the vehicle meets a predetermined switching condition; and when it is determined that the switching condition is met, obtain a brake parameter corresponding to a selected comfort brake level, and transmit the obtained brake parameter to a brake system of the vehicle by using a vehicle bus of the vehicle.

Provided is an electric brake system that changes responsiveness depending on responsiveness required for an electric brake device, thereby enabling operation sound and power consumption to be reduced without influencing movement of a vehicle. The electric brake system includes one or more electric brake device (3) each having a control operation module (12) for performing follow-up control for a target braking force. The electric brake system includes a response requirement determination module (14) for determining responsiveness required for the brake actuator (4) from one or both of a braking requirement and the vehicle travelling condition. The braking requirement is outputted from a brake operation member or a vehicle-stable-travelling control system. The electric brake system includes a control modification module (15) for changing a control operation formula to be used for follow-up control by the module (12), depending on responsiveness determined by the module (14).

The device that generates the friction braking force to decelerate the vehicle estimates the disturbance torque acting on the vehicle. When the accelerator operation amount is equal to or less than the predetermined value and the vehicle is just before the stop of the vehicle, the control device for vehicle causes the friction braking amount to converge to the friction braking amount to the value decided on the basis of the disturbance torque estimated value Td in conjunction with the reduction in the motor rotation speed (speed parameter) proportionate to the traveling speed of the vehicle.

A method for operating a brake system in a motor vehicle, having at least one hydraulic circuit that has a hydraulic pump and at least two wheel brakes, at least one actuatable inlet valve being allocated to each wheel brake. The brake system is monitored for a driver's braking request. To acquire the driver's braking request, a first wheel behavior of at least one wheel allocated to one of the wheel brakes is acquired, such that, upon acquiring of an unexpected wheel behavior, the braking intervention is interrupted and a second wheel behavior of the wheel is acquired and compared to the first wheel behavior of the wheel, and the driver's braking request is recognized as a function of the comparison.

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.
