Application: Braking system and braking method using the same (Patent ID: US20240101088A1)
The patent filed by Kia Corp describes a braking system for vehicles that includes a main braking force adjusting device and an auxiliary braking force adjusting device. The main device controls the braking hydraulic pressure supplied to the front and rear wheels, while the auxiliary device steps in to directly control the braking hydraulic pressure of the front wheel in case of a failure in the main device. This system ensures continuous and reliable braking even in the event of a failure.
Furthermore, the patent outlines a method for redundancy braking control, where the auxiliary braking force adjusting device takes over the control of the front wheel's braking when a failure is detected in the main braking force adjusting device. This method includes electrically controlling the braking of the wheel with the second hydraulic brake, ensuring the vehicle can decelerate safely even under adverse conditions. The system also includes features such as redundancy modes and autonomous driving control units to enhance safety and efficiency in braking operations.
