Apparatus and a System for Mitigating Wheel Skidding In a Manual Brake System

A system comprising:

• means for controlling a movement of a manual mechanical linkage shaft in a manual brake system for a vehicle wheel;
• means for driving said controlling means wherein a manually applied force to the manual mechanical linkage shaft is modulated or pulsed;
• means for engaging and disengaging said controlling means to and from the manual mechanical linkage shaft;
• means for actuating said engaging and disengaging means;
• and
• means for controlling said driving means during a braking of the vehicle wheel to mitigate skidding of the vehicle wheel during the braking.

A system comprising:

• an actuator assembly configured for controlling a movement of a manual mechanical linkage shaft in a manual brake system for a vehicle wheel;
• an electric motor for driving said actuator assembly wherein a manually applied force to the manual mechanical linkage shaft is modulated or pulsed;
• a lock and release assembly configured for engaging and disengaging said actuator assembly to and from the manual mechanical linkage shaft;
• means for actuating said lock and release assembly to engage said actuator assembly to the manual mechanical linkage shaft, and disengage said actuator assembly from the manual mechanical linkage shaft;
• and
• an electronic controller for controlling said electric motor during a braking of the vehicle wheel to mitigate skidding of the vehicle wheel during the braking.
