Control system for a vehicular braking system incorporating a hydrodynamic brake and a friction brake

摘要

A control system for a vehicular braking system incorporating a hydrodynamic brake and a friction brake. The control system optimizes the cooperation by the hydrodynamic brake and the friction brake and improves the reliability of operation thereof by producing a control signal corresponding to the desired total braking torque and applying this control signal as an input variable to an open-loop associated with the hydrodynamic brake and to a closed-loop associated with the friction brake with a signal responsive to the instantaneous deceleration being fed back to the input of the closed-loop.
