  • Electro-hydraulic brake system and method
    Patent number: 10793126
    Abstract: An electro-hydraulic brake system includes a first brake input that generates a first brake input signal and a second brake input that generates a second brake input signal. The system also includes a first valve that releases hydraulic fluid to control a first brake and a second valve that releases the hydraulic fluid to control a second brake. The system includes a speed sensor that generates a speed signal indicative of a speed of a work vehicle. A controller receives the speed signal, the first brake input signal, and the second brake input signal, determines the speed of the work vehicle based on the speed signal, and compares the speed of the work vehicle to a threshold speed. The controller synchronizes actuation of the first and second valves in response to the speed being in excess of the threshold speed to control the first and second valves.
