Abstract
A vehicle's electronic brake system is controlled to prevent rear-to-front body sway. A clamping force is applied to the rear and front axle brakes such that the clamping force is built up in the brakes of the rear axle before the clamping force is built up in the brakes of the front axle such that the distance of a rear part of the vehicle body relative to the roadway is substantially constant at the beginning of braking.
Claims6
A method for controlling a vehicle's electronic brake system in which a rapidly responding brake on the rear axle of the vehicle is combined with a slowly responding brake on the front axle and in which during a brake actuation a clamping force is built up independently on the rear axle and the front axle, the method comprising:
- providing a clamping force to the rear and front axle brakes such that the clamping force is built up in the brakes of the rear axle before the clamping force is built up in the brakes of the front axle such that the distance of a rear part of the vehicle body relative to the roadway is substantially constant at the beginning of braking.
