Abstract
A method of managing the braking force applied on the wheels of a vehicle including hybrid brake actuators is provided. In particular, safety functions, such as ABS and ESP are performed using hybrid actuators.
Claims14
A method of managing a braking force on a wheel w of a vehicle v equipped with at least a pair of hybrid brake actuators and at least a control unit, each brake actuator comprising a first brake actuator and a second brake actuator, said method comprising the steps of:
- determining, by the at least a control unit, a targeted braking force;
- applying a main braking force to the wheel w by the first brake actuator;
- applying a complementary braking force to the wheel w by a second brake actuator in such a way that the targeted braking force is actually delivered;
- monitoring an actual braking force delivered to the wheel w;
- and
- modulating one or more of the main braking force and the complementary braking force.
