  • Electronic brake boost on secondary brake system
    Patent number: 10821949
    Abstract: A braking system for a vehicle, which includes both a primary brake system, and a secondary brake system. A plurality of braking units are controlled by the primary brake system when the primary brake system is active, and at least one of the plurality of braking units controlled by the secondary brake system when the primary brake system is inactive. An actuator is part of the primary brake system, and the actuator is controlled by a primary controller. The primary controller selectively actuates the actuator to control the fluid pressure in the primary brake system to selectively actuate the plurality of braking units when the primary brake system is active, and when the primary brake system is inactive, the secondary brake system generates a boost pressure in the at least one of the plurality of braking units controlled by the secondary brake system.
