A braking system may include a controller, a first wheel and a second wheel. The first wheel may be laterally displaced from the second wheel by a first distance. A first wheel speed sensor may be coupled to the first wheel and a second wheel sensor may be coupled to the second wheel. The controller may be configured to determine at least one of a slip ratio, a coefficient of friction, or a braking pressure of the second wheel in response to failure of the first wheel speed sensor. The controller may be configured to calculate a consistency value of the at least one of the slip ratio, the coefficient of friction, or the braking pressure. The controller may be configured to adjust a braking pressure of the first wheel speed sensor based upon the consistency value and the first distance.

A method for operating a motor vehicle having two wheels, each of which is associated with a parking brake. The parking brakes are controlled as a function of a friction between the respective wheel and the ground.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for controlling aircraft brakes. A brake control system may comprise a controller, and a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the controller. The tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the controller, cause the controller to perform operations comprising: determining a braking power discrepancy of a wheel (e.sub.P,i), comparing the braking power discrepancy of the wheel (e.sub.P,i) to a threshold discrepancy value, and modulating a braking pressure applied to the wheel based on the comparison of the braking power discrepancy of the wheel (e.sub.P,i) to the threshold discrepancy value.

The present disclosure provides an emergency braking system, an emergency braking method and a semitrailer, capable of improving the braking effect of the vehicle, thereby achieving improved safety for the vehicle. The system includes: a sensor component configured to collect sensed information on an environment where a semitrailer is located; and a braking controller configured to determine whether there is a risk of collision for the semitrailer based on the sensed information, and if so, calculate a maximum adhesive force that can be provided by a road surface the semitrailer is currently on, determine a first braking pressure corresponding to each wheel based on the maximum adhesive force and axle load information, and transmit to a braking system a first braking instruction carrying the first braking pressure for each wheel.

A control apparatus for a vehicle includes: a first road surface friction coefficient calculator; a second road surface friction coefficient calculator; and a braking and driving force controller. The first road surface friction coefficient calculator calculates a first road surface friction coefficient that is a friction coefficient of a road surface in a contact with a wheel. The second road surface friction coefficient calculator calculates a second road surface friction coefficient on a basis of a detection value from a contactless sensor that contactlessly detects a road surface state.

A system and method for controlling wheel brakes on a trailer in a tractor-trailer are provided. Upon receiving a command to apply a trailer wheel brake, the system determines a speed of the tractor-trailer responsive to a speed signal generated by a vehicle speed sensor. The system also estimates a threshold speed based on a level of friction between the tractor-trailer and a road surface on which the tractor-trailer is travelling. The system then generates a control signal to control delivery of fluid pressure to the trailer wheel brake. The control signal causes delivery of a first fluid pressure to the trailer wheel brake when the speed meets a predetermined condition relative to the threshold speed and a second fluid pressure, less than the first fluid pressure, when the speed does not meet the predetermined condition.
