  • Publication number: 20200164842
    Abstract: A braking control device comprises: an operational displacement sensor detecting operational displacement of a braking member; a first hydraulic pressure unit that reads operational displacement as a first displacement processing value via a first displacement signal line and adjusts braking hydraulic pressure based on the first displacement processing value; a second hydraulic pressure unit that reads operational displacement as a second displacement processing value via a second displacement signal line and adjusts braking hydraulic pressure based on the second displacement processing value; and a communication bus transmitting signals between the first and second hydraulic pressure units. The first hydraulic pressure unit acquires the second displacement processing value via the communication bus and determines suitability/unsuitability of the first displacement processing value.

  • Publication number: 20200039490
    Abstract: The vehicular brake device includes a determination unit, a ratio setting unit, and the control unit. The determination unit determines the operating condition of a vehicular brake device. The ratio setting unit sets, on the basis of the result of determination by the determination unit, a first ratio which is the ratio of a wheel pressure generated by a piston drive unit to a target wheel pressure, and a second ratio which is the ratio of a wheel pressure generated by a hydraulic pressure adjusting unit to the target wheel pressure. The control unit controls the piston drive unit and the hydraulic pressure adjusting unit on the basis of the first ratio and the second ratio.

  • Publication number: 20200039494
    Abstract: A braking device includes a stroke simulator, a hydraulic pressure generation unit, a reaction hydraulic pressure detection unit, a master hydraulic pressure detection unit, and a bottoming determination unit. The stroke simulator includes a cylinder and a piston slidably movable inside the cylinder in conjunction with an operation of a brake operation member. The stroke simulator causes a reaction force chamber to generate a reaction hydraulic pressure and applies a reaction force. The hydraulic pressure generation unit generates a master hydraulic pressure by driving a master piston and supplies a hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder. The reaction hydraulic pressure detection unit detects the reaction hydraulic pressure. The master hydraulic pressure detection unit detects the master hydraulic pressure. The bottoming determination unit determines whether the master piston is in a bottoming state based on the reaction hydraulic pressure and the master hydraulic pressure.

  • Publication number: 20190381978
    Abstract: This vehicle control system is provided with an input monitoring unit and a determination time changing unit. When a state in which first target data is not input to a second control unit continues for a first determination time or longer, the input monitoring unit determines the first target data to be in a non-input state. When a state in which second target data is not input to the second control unit continues for a second determination time or longer, the input monitoring unit determines the second target data to be in a non-input state. When the first target data is determined to be in a non-input state, the determination time changing unit shortens the second determination time.

    Abstract: A braking control device for imparting brake fluid pressure on wheel cylinders in response to operation of a braking operation member to produce braking force includes: first and second fluid pressure units for imparting brake fluid pressure by first and second power sources respectively; and a determining device for determining whether or not operation of the first fluid pressure unit is appropriate. When the determining device determines that operation is appropriate, the first fluid pressure unit imparts brake fluid pressure based on a suitability characteristic, which is the relationship between the brake fluid pressure and the braking operation member operation amount, set in advance. The second fluid pressure unit has proximity characteristics, generally matching the suitability characteristic, and notification characteristics, different from the suitability characteristic.

  • Patent number: 10384661
    Abstract: A brake ECU of a vehicle braking control device, during execution of brake pressurization control, performs actuation restriction control that restricts actuation of a motor as an arbitrary upstream fluid pressure (M/C pressure) that is the brake pressure input from the M/C side of the brake fluid pressure control actuator becomes higher. The brake ECU has a threshold value changing unit that sets at least the starting threshold value at a high level when the upstream fluid pressure (M/C pressure) is high compared to when low, and as actuation restriction control actuates the motor to pump out the brake fluid from inside of the reservoirs when the reservoir fluid volume exceeds the starting threshold value, and stops the motor when the reservoir fluid volume equals the stop threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20190100184
    Abstract: A braking device includes: a reservoir; a master cylinder in which when the amount of operation performed on a brake pedal reaches or exceeds a predetermined amount, a port communicating between a pressure chamber and the reservoir is cut off and hydraulic pressure corresponding to the brake pedal operation amount is generated; a hydraulic pressure unit for adjusting the wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure; and a control unit for controlling the hydraulic pressure unit. The control unit determines, based on a temperature-related value related to the temperature of a friction member pressed by the wheel cylinder hydraulic pressure against a rotating member fixed to a wheel, whether the friction member is in a fade state. When the friction member is in a fade state, the control unit controls the hydraulic pressure unit to suction brake fluid from the reservoir through the port, and is fed to the wheel cylinder.

  • Patent number: 9771056
    Abstract: A vehicle control device corrects the amount of brake control according to the degree of stall prevention requests such that the brake control amount is matched to a travel state. For example, when the vehicle body speed is low, the vehicle body is often traveling a road surface that is difficult to travel, and the degree of stall prevention requests is small. In such cases, the vehicle control device exhibits LSD effects and increases ground-covering properties by executing vehicle wheel slip control based on stronger brake control, while increasing safety properties by better enabling generation of deceleration. Then, as the vehicle body speed increases, because it is conceivable that the vehicle body is leaving a place that is difficult to travel and the degree of stall prevention requests is high, the vehicle control device executes switching such that brake control is lowered.

  • Patent number: 9725079
    Abstract: For traction control, different filters, i.e., a hydraulic-pressure-increase filter and a hydraulic-pressure-decrease filter, are provided for increasing and decreasing target pressure, respectively. The inhibiting effect that the hydraulic-pressure-increase filter exhibits with respect to target pressure changes is made less than the inhibiting effect that the hydraulic-pressure-decrease filter exhibits with respect to changes in the target pressure, and so the target pressure is increased quickly but decreased slowly. As such, even if the wheel-cylinder pressure decreases subsequent to the actual wheel-cylinder pressure having increased to follow the target pressure, the wheel-cylinder pressure decreases only gradually, reducing the amount of pressure increase needed to reach the target pressure when the wheel-cylinder pressure is next increased.
