  • Patent number: 8870302
    Abstract: A hydraulic brake device and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The disclosed hydraulic brake device determines failure of a booster pressure sensor provided at a hydraulic power unit, using pressure correlation among a master cylinder pressure sensor, a pressure sensor provided at the hydraulic power unit to detect a pressure transferred to a hydraulic pressure controller, and a high pressure accumulator pressure sensor. When there is failure of the booster pressure sensor, the driver is informed of the failure, and a braking operation is carried out, taking into consideration the failure. Accordingly, it may be possible to avoid excessive braking, sudden braking, insufficient braking, etc., and to achieve enhancement in braking sensation and braking force.
