    Patent number: 6314358
    Abstract: A vehicle brake control wherein a driver generated braking prompt signal is compared with a measured deceleration signal and, according to which, a correction signal is generated. The correction signal is processed with the braking prompt signal into an output signal. The correction signal is constantly maintained over one or more clock pulses when the value of the deceleration signal lies within a given value range or tolerance band. However, the correction signal is changed from one plus to the next when the instantaneous deceleration lies outside said tolerance band.
