  • Method for adapting emergency braking detection to sequenced braking recognition
    Patent number: 8010273
    Abstract: A method for controlling braking in a motor vehicle equipped with a brake servo unit capable of being implemented in a braking system including: a hydraulic master cylinder associated with a vacuum brake booster and with hydraulic circuits supplying the wheel brakes equipping the vehicle wheels; an ABS hydraulic unit with wheel antiskid function, and an electronic mechanism implementing emergency braking assisted by the hydraulic unit. The method detects serial repetition in time for implementing emergency braking operations and adapts the conditions for implementing an emergency braking in case of serial repetition.
