Title:
MULTI-AXLE BRAKING-FORCE CONTROL METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTOMOBILE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS61282154
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The system is responsive to the presence or absence of loads exceeding a threshold at passenger and cargo-carrying locations (22-26) in a motor vehicle and includes load presence sensor switches (SA, SB, SC, SD, SE), a signal processing system such as an onboard computer (46), and an electrically controllable brake proportion valve (32) that has a plurality of finite settings controllable in response to passenger and cargo-load presences in the vehicle. The ratio of rear-to-front braking effort is controlled by the proportion valve (v) so that the ratio increases as the number of passenger and cargo-load presences increases. The location of the loads in the vehicle can also influence the brake proportion ratio.
