A brake system includes a tandem power transmission unit selectively driven by a first electric motor to provide pressurized hydraulic fluid to primary and secondary output lines. A plurality of iso/dump control valve arrangements is provided, with each being associated with a selected wheel brake and selectively provides slip control to the selected wheel brake. A first traction control iso valve is hydraulically interposed between the tandem power transmission unit and at least a selected iso/dump control valve arrangement via the primary output line. A second traction control iso valve is hydraulically interposed between the tandem power transmission unit and at least an other iso/dump control valve arrangement via the secondary output line. A DAP power transmission unit is driven by a second electric motor for selectively providing pressurized hydraulic fluid to the iso/dump control valve arrangement of at least one associated wheel brake.
A brake system, comprising:
The brake system of claim 11, wherein the tandem power transmission unit provides pressurized hydraulic fluid to at least one wheel brake at least when the brake system is in the normal non-failure braking mode, and the DAP power transmission unit provides pressurized hydraulic fluid to at least one wheel brake at least when the brake system is in the backup braking mode.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
