Abstract
A brake system for a combination vehicle in which a plurality of vehicles are coupled in a line, including: a plurality of brake devices respectively provided for the plurality of vehicles; and a controller configured to control the plurality of brake devices, wherein the controller is configured to control a braking force applied to each of the plurality of vehicles based on a loaded weight or a weight of each of the plurality of vehicles.
Claims17
A combination vehicle brake system comprising:
- a combination vehicle in which a plurality of vehicles are coupled in a line;
- and
- a brake system comprising:
- a plurality of brake devices respectively provided for the plurality of vehicles;
- and
- a controller configured to control the plurality of brake devices,
- wherein, when the combination vehicle is braked, the controller executes at least one of:
- a deceleration adjusting control in which a deceleration of one of any two of the plurality of vehicles that is located more rearward is not lower than a deceleration of the other of said any two of the plurality of vehicles that is located more frontward;
- and
- a braking-force generation-timing adjusting control in which a timing of generation of a braking force in one of any two of the plurality of vehicles that is located more frontward is not earlier than a timing of generation of a braking force in the other of said any two of the plurality of vehicles that is located more rearward,
- wherein the controller executes the deceleration adjusting control when a required overall deceleration is higher than a set deceleration and executes the braking-force generation-timing adjusting control when the required overall deceleration is not higher than the set deceleration, the required overall deceleration being a deceleration required for the combination vehicle as a whole.
