  • ACCELERATOR BRAKING MODULE
    Publication number: 20100152988
    Abstract: An accelerator braking system for a vehicle; said braking system reactive to forces applied to an accelerator pedal of said vehicle; said system characterized by a transmission to a control module of data corresponding to said forces applied to said accelerator pedal wherein braking force is gradually increased and decreased by operation of the accelerator pedal. In a preferred form the braking system is reactive to forces applied to a secondary reaction surface of an accelerator pedal of said vehicle; said system characterized by a transmission to a control module of force data or angle data wherein braking force is gradually increased and decreased by operation of the accelerator pedal.

  • Accelerator pedal with braking action
    Patent number: 7188546
    Abstract: An accelerator pedal unit (10) for a vehicle whereby an accelerator pedal (11) is moveable from a rest or first position (15) through an idle position (17) to a second position (16) and wherein vehicle braking is caused to occur when the accelerator pedal (11) moves in the range between the idle position (17) and the first position (15) and the vehicle is caused to accelerate when the accelerator pedal (11) moves between the idle position (17) and second position (16).
