  • Patent number: 10906519
    Abstract: An electronic brake system and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The electronic brake system includes a hydraulic-pressure supply device and a hydraulic-pressure control unit. The hydraulic-pressure supply device operates a hydraulic piston using an electric signal corresponding to a displacement of a brake pedal, and thus generates hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic-pressure control unit controls hydraulic pressure of a pressure medium supplied to individual wheel cylinders. The electronic brake system controls a plurality of valves mounted to the hydraulic-pressure control unit, and thus performs a normal operation mode, an abnormal operation mode, a regenerative braking mode, and an inspection mode using the valves.

  • Publication number: 20200398800
    Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The vehicle control apparatus includes an inputter, a determiner, and a controller. The inputter receives an automatic vehicle hold (AVH) switch operation signal from an AVH device, and receives a current vehicle movement value sensed by a sensing device and a current vehicle brake force value of a brake device that generates brake force in response to activation of the AVH device. The determiner determines whether the received AVH switch operation signal transitions from an ON state to an AVH entry state, determines whether vehicle movement occurs on the basis of the received current vehicle movement value during an AVH retention time in the AVH entry state, and determines that the current vehicle brake force value is in an abnormal state when vehicle movement occurs. The controller receives the current vehicle movement value and the current vehicle brake force value, and transmits a command for judgment to the determiner.
