A braking system for vehicles comprising —a manual actuator device, operable by means of a lever and/or pedal, operatively connected to at least a first braking device acting on a brake disc or drum, so as to exercise a braking action, —an automatic actuator device, operatively connected to said manual actuator device and/or to said first braking device, —at least one command panel which supervises the functioning of the braking system, said command panel being operatively connected to the automatic actuator device and being programmed so that when the manual actuator device is operated, the panel commands the operation of the automatic actuator device so as to be able to: —increase the overall braking action of the braking system, further operating the first braking device or further braking devices provided in said system and acting on further brake discs or drums, —control the braking action of the braking system so as not to further operate the first braking device or further braking devices of the system, —reduce the overall braking action imposed by means of the manual actuator device, directly countering the thrust action exercised on the lever and/or on the pedal.

A braking system for a vehicle, which includes both a primary brake system, and a secondary brake system. A plurality of braking units are controlled by the primary brake system when the primary brake system is active, and at least one of the plurality of braking units controlled by the secondary brake system when the primary brake system is inactive. An actuator is part of the primary brake system, and the actuator is controlled by a primary controller. The primary controller selectively actuates the actuator to control the fluid pressure in the primary brake system to selectively actuate the plurality of braking units when the primary brake system is active, and when the primary brake system is inactive, the secondary brake system generates a boost pressure in the at least one of the plurality of braking units controlled by the secondary brake system.

A braking system for vehicles has a pilot pump with a manual actuation device, which is fluidically connected to an absorber device which simulates the driving resistance offered by at least one braking device. The system has at least one control unit operatively connected to at least one sensor and to the manual actuator device and is programmed to actuate the braking device via the actuator device when it receives from the sensors a braking action request signal. The control unit is programmed so as to correct the braking action requested by the user, actuating the manual actuator device so as to avoid blocking of one or more wheels or the occurrence of instability of the vehicle during braking. The control unit is programmed to induce on the manual actuation device at least one vibration when it corrects the braking action requested by the user.

A braking system with function of anti-somersault, comprising: a hydraulic unit, a piston, a drive unit, a suspension travel sensor, and an ECU. During braking, according to a suspension travel signal generated by the suspension travel sensor, the ECU is able to determine whether a vehicle with short wheel base and high centre of gravity tends to be subject to forward somersault or not. Once confirmed, the ECU immediately sends a control signal to the drive unit, so as to drive the piston move towards a pressure releasing direction, such that fluid pressure on the downstream side of the hydraulic unit is blocked from changing. Moreover, further increase of the piston's displacement increases fluid volume in an oil chamber of the hydraulic unit so as to largely reduce the downstream fluid pressure. Consequently, braking force applied to the vehicle by the braking caliper decreases, and the forward somersault is prevented.
