Brake adjustment method and apparatus thereof

摘要

A brake adjustment method and apparatus thereof are described which are capable of providing proper brake hydraulic pressure compensation without causing variations due to different adjusters and without lifting the vehicle. The apparatus comprises: (a) adjustment mode setting means for setting an adjustment mode for adjusting brake hydraulic pressure to a proper value, while the vehicle being in its stopped state; (b) brake hydraulic pressure changing means for controlling the brake hydraulic pressure to gradually change when the adjustment mode has been set by the adjustment mode setting means; (c) vehicle travel start detecting means for detecting a start of traveling of the vehicle; (d) brake pressure command value detecting means for detecting a brake pressure command value at the start of traveling of the vehicle, if a start of vehicle traveling is detected by the vehicle travel start detecting means while the brake hydraulic pressure being gradually changed by the brake hydraulic pressure changing means; and (e) brake hydraulic pressure correcting means for correcting the brake hydraulic pressure to a proper value, based on the brake pressure command value detected by the brake pressure command value detecting means.
