Abstract
In a disc brake control system for a vehicle, a control unit determines that a brake disc is in a condition of a thermal inclination of brake disc, and further determines that the brake disc is restored from the thermal inclination. The control unit operates an actuator of a disc brake devices to push a brake pad to the brake disc, when it determines that the brake disc is restored from the thermal inclination. According to such operation, the brake pad is moved to its normal position to the brake disc, so that a brake drag of the brake pad to the brake disc is suppressed.
Claims16
A disc brake control system for a vehicle comprising:
- disc brake devices respectively provided for vehicle wheels, each having
- a brake disc to be integrally rotated with the vehicle wheel,
- a brake pad arranged to be pushed against a sliding surface of the brake disc, and
- an actuator for driving the brake pad, so that the brake pad is pushed to the sliding surface of the brake disc;
- and
- a control unit for operating the disc brake devices to control a braking operation of the vehicle,
- wherein the control unit comprises;
- a step for determining whether the brake disc is in a condition of a thermal inclination as a result of an increase of a brake disc temperature;
- a step for determining whether the brake disc is in a restored condition from the thermal inclination;
- and
- a step for operating the actuator in order to push the brake pad to the sliding surface of the brake disc, after the control unit determines that the brake disc is restored from the thermal inclination.
