Abstract
A vehicle braking system which includes at least one primary feature and at least one redundant feature and a braking control system which is operable to determine whether a predetermined condition, which is not indicative of failure of the primary feature or the redundant feature, is met, wherein if the predetermined condition is met, the braking control system causes the primary feature to be operable and if the predetermined condition is not met, the braking control system causes the redundant feature to be operable.
Claims17
A method of controlling a vehicle braking system which includes at least one primary feature and at least one redundant feature and a braking control system which is operable to determine whether a predetermined condition is met, wherein if the predetermined condition is met, the braking control system causes the primary feature to be operable and if the predetermined condition is not met, the braking control system causes the redundant feature to be operable, wherein the predetermined condition is a required braking pressure, and is not indicative of failure of the primary feature or the redundant feature, wherein, in the event of a predetermined number of braking applications being made without the redundant feature being operable, the braking control system causes the redundant feature to be operated on the next braking application, regardless of whether the predetermined condition is or is not met.
A vehicle braking system including at least one primary feature and at least one redundant feature and a braking control system which is operable to determine whether a predetermined condition is met, wherein if the predetermined condition is met, the braking control system causes the primary feature to be operable and if the predetermined condition is not met, the braking control system causes the redundant feature to be operable, wherein the predetermined condition is a required braking pressure, and is not indicative of failure of the primary feature or the redundant feature, wherein, in the event of a predetermined number of braking applications being made without the redundant feature being operable, the braking control system causes the redundant feature to be operated on the next braking application, regardless of whether the predetermined condition is or is not met.
