Abstract
A vehicle braking system capable of normally releasing brakes under various conditions and a control method thereof is provided. The vehicle braking system includes a braking device and a brake release assisting unit, wherein the brake release assisting unit maintains a braking force at a constant level by applying auxiliary hydraulic pressure to the braking device when braking of the braking device is released.
Claims15
A vehicle braking system, comprising:
- a hydraulic part configured to provide a preset hydraulic pressure to a braking device;
- a brake release assisting unit comprising a processor and a memory, and configured to control the hydraulic part;
- the braking device configured to control an actuator for braking and releasing a wheel cylinder, the releasing being performed after the preset hydraulic pressure is provided;
- an ammeter configured to measure a current of the braking device;
- and
- the processor configured to determine a condition in which both the current of the braking device is less than a preset current and a load applied to the current of the braking device is less than or equal to a preset value,
- wherein the hydraulic part is further configured to terminate the application of the preset hydraulic pressure when the processor determines the condition.
