Method and apparatus for controlling a braking system of a vehicle

摘要

A braking system for a vehicle is responsive to vehicle dynamic operating conditions to provide enhanced braking when vehicle instability is detected. In one version braking force as a function of brake pedal force is increased. In another version an actuator takes up free play in a brake clamping device. The system may additionally respond to operator controls indicating possible full braking action; such as rapid release of an accelerator.
