Estimating the term…
In a pedal assembly for a brake-by-wire vehicle braking system, feedback reaction means (10) is provided so that feedback to the driver through the pedal (3) provides comfortable feel, similar to the pedal feel achieved in a conventional hydraulic braking system fitted to a non-EBS equipped vehicle. The feedback reaction means may comprise a two-rate spring assembly (24, 26) or a variable rate spring assembly, in combination with a damper (40). In addition the pedal assembly (1) is adapted to two signal inputs (50, 51) to a main electric control unit (56) which, in turn, is adapted to service two chambers of an x-split hydraulic braking system.
A pedal assembly for a brake-by-wire vehicle braking system in which operation of a brake pedal is adapted to cause actuation of the brakes of a vehicle fitted with EBS, wherein feedback reaction means is provided so that feedback to the driver through the pedal provides a comfortable pedal feel.
A pedal assembly for a brake-by-wire vehicle braking system in which operation of a brake pedal is adapted to cause actuation of the brakes of a vehicle fitted with EBS, wherein the pedal assembly is adapted to provide two signal inputs for a main electronic control unit which, in turn, is adapted to service two sub-systems of a braking system.
