Abstract: In a brake control system, a power supply portion supplies a voltage to a plurality of actuators. When a first actuator is supplied with a voltage equal to or higher than a first minimum operating voltage from the power supply portion, the first actuator operates to perform a first function. When a second actuator is supplied with a voltage equal to or higher than a second minimum operating voltage from the power supply portion, the second actuator performs a second function. The first minimum operating voltage and the second minimum operating voltage are set to be different from each other by a predetermined value so that the first actuator and the second actuator stop operating in a predetermined sequence with a decrease in the supplied voltage.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake system for a vehicle includes a brake having a wheel cylinder that applies a braking force to a wheel, and a pressurizing device. The pressurizing device pressurizes the brake liquid and includes a suction portion for sucking a brake liquid, and additionally includes an output portion connected to the wheel cylinder. A linear solenoid valve includes at least one housing, and is connected to the wheel cylinder and to the suction portion of the pressurizing device. The solenoid valve includes a valve portion having a reciprocating valve member and a valve seat opposed to the valve member. A biasing member biases the valve member in one direction and a solenoid applies a drive force to the valve member in an opposite direction. In addition, a hydraulic-pressure-decrease restraining device restrains a decrease of pressure of the brake liquid in the housing.

Abstract: A wheel cylinder receives operating fluid supplied from a master cylinder or an accumulator and operates a brake provided on each wheel of a vehicle. A valve control portion operates a master cutoff valve and a pressure increase valve in response to an operation of a brake pedal. When the brake pedal is operated, an operation timing instructing portion first instructs the valve control portion to operate the master cutoff valve. A voltage recovery characteristics measuring portion measures a voltage recovery time that it takes for the voltage of a power supply to recover to a predetermined level from a temporary drop due to operation of the master cutoff valve. Then after the voltage recovery time has passed after the master cutoff valve was operated, the operation timing instructing device instructs the valve control portion to operate the pressure increase valve.
