  • Patent number: 7826942
    Abstract: A method of generating braking information for a device including first and second sensors linked to a control unit and designed to sense positioning information concerning a brake pedal moving between released and depressed positions. The method includes transmitting to the control unit, by the first sensor, a first pedal “press” signal and a first “non-press” signal, and transmitting to the control unit, by the second sensor, a second pedal “press” signal and a second “non-press” signal. The method also includes the generation of a first information signal if the first pedal “press” signal and first “non-press” signal are inconsistent and a second information signal if the second pedal “press” signal and the second “non-press” signal are inconsistent, each signal being analyzed independently of the other for this generation.

  • Publication number: 20060238022
    Abstract: A method of generating braking information for a device comprising first and second sensors 3, 4 linked to a control unit 5 and designed to sense positioning information concerning a brake pedal moving between released and depressed positions; the method comprising: the transmission to the control unit, by the first sensor, of a first pedal “press” signal (S1) and a first “non-press” signal ({overscore (S1)}) the transmission to the control unit, by the second sensor, of a second pedal “press” signal (S2) and a second “non-press” signal ({overscore (S2)}). The method including the generation of a first information item (F1) if the signal (S1, {overscore (S1)}) is inconsistent and a second information item (F2) if the signal (S2, {overscore (S2)}) is inconsistent, each signal being analyzed independently of the other for this generation.
