  • Publication number: 20230266114
    Abstract: A non-contact brake pedal position sensing system is provided with components for each of first and second brake pedal units configured for angular displacement about a rotation axis at respective first ends thereof, responsive to manual engagement at respective second ends thereof. The components include a sensor cam located at the first end of each respective brake pedal unit and configured for angular displacement along therewith, a sensor housing mounted at a fixed position with respect to the rotation axis, and a sensor mounted within the sensor housing and configured to generate output signals corresponding to a sensed air gap between the sensor and the sensor cam, wherein the sensed air gap between the sensor cam and the sensor corresponds to an amount of angular displacement for the respective brake pedal unit. The sensor housing may preferably be oriented orthogonally with respect to the rotation axis.

  • Publication number: 20230264665
    Abstract: A brake pedal feedback system includes a spring driver, a first spring, a first brake pedal, and a second brake pedal. The spring driver includes a first recess and a second recess. The first brake pedal includes a first extension at least partially positioned in the first recess. The second first brake pedal includes a second extension at least partially positioned in the second recess. When the first brake pedal is in an engaged position and the second brake pedal is in a disengaged position, the first extension contacts a first surface of the first recess causing the spring driver to move the first spring from a relaxed condition to an energy storing condition, and the second extension is spaced apart from a first surface of the second recess.
