  • Publication number: 20130332041
    Abstract: A brake pressure compensation method may include determining a vehicle speed, the magnitude of a negative pressure, and the pressure of a master cylinder, determining brake intention from a change in pressure of the master cylinder, and deciding a brake pressure from the amount of pressure of the master cylinder, determining the compensation amount of the brake pressure by applying the magnitude of a negative pressure of a booster, and performing brake control by compensating for a hydraulic brake pressure through an ESC module.

  • Patent number: 6550354
    Abstract: A foot brake release device adapted such that a slight and instant pull of a parking release knob for releasing a parking activated state for a parking brake pedal enables the complete release of the parking activated state of the parking brake pedal. The device includes a parking brake pedal equipped at one side thereof with a ratchet gear; a ratchet plate equipped with a ratchet gear meshed to a ratchet gear; a torsion spring mounted at the ratchet plate allowing the parking brake pedal to rotate at a predetermined angle for maintenance of a locked state and to restrict the ratchet plate from rotating in one direction; and a torsion spring slack keeping unit for maintaining a slacked state of the torsion spring when the parking brake pedal is returned for rotation.
