Sensor-equipped vehicle braking systems, devices, and methods

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems, for analyzing and managing data generated by a sensor-equipped braking system for vehicles, comprising a support element a block of friction material, at least one sensor interposed between the block of friction material and the support element, comprising at least one central control unit capable of receiving in real time from the sensor means at least the basic data related to one or more of the pressure of the activated braking system, the temperature of the activated braking system, the braking torque, the residual braking torque when the braking system is deactivated, and the wear on the braking system during and after activation thereof. The system can also include one or more auxiliary sensors.

Automatic brake control device of vehicle

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an automatic brake control device of a vehicle capable of achieving an automatic brake control without giving an uncomfortable feeling to a driver regardless of a stop position approaching path, on which the vehicle travels. SOLUTION: This device starts automatic brake control when a distance between a current point and a temporary stop point obtained from a navigation device becomes not more than a final required braking distance Lth x Klth. At that time, a final required deceleration change pattern, Pattfin(x) to be a target to follow control an actual deceleration of the vehicle is produced. The final required deceleration change pattern, Pattfin (x) is produced on the basis of a reference average deceleration change pattern, Pattnormave (J) corresponding to a stop position approaching path J, on which the vehicle is now traveling, among each of reference average deceleration change patterns respectively stored/learnt in a backup RAM every stop position approaching path in advance based on the actual braking operation by the driver.

Braking management system for a transmission incorporating a cvp

Abstract: A braking management system for a vehicle having a driveline that has a transmission featuring a continuously variable planetary variator, the braking management system comprising a processor adapted to actuate one or more braking mechanisms based on current state of the vehicle and a braking input from a vehicle operator. The system may prioritize some mechanisms over others to optimize vehicle efficiency or vehicle component longevity.

Asymmetrical electric braking architecture for aircraft

Abstract: An asymmetrical electric braking architecture for aircraft, having plural electro-mechanical brake actuators (EBAs) for selectively applying a braking force on friction elements of braked wheels. The architecture comprises (1) a brake control unit (BCU) for acting in normal mode to generate braking setpoint values in response to a braking order, (2) electro-mechanical actuator controllers (EMACs), each including at least one inverter for supplying power to the EBAs in response to the braking setpoint values, (3) at least one emergency brake power and control unit (EBPCU) including at least one inverter for supplying power to some of the EBAs in response to a braking order; and (4) protection means for channeling power supplied by the EMACs or the EBPCU towards the actuators while preventing power from being diverted towards the architecture.
