==Methods and Systems for Implementing a Redundant Brake System - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240208475 titled 'Methods and Systems for Implementing a Redundant Brake System

'''Simplified Explanation:'''
The patent application relates to triple redundant brake systems for vehicles, offering additional redundancy by incorporating a third service brake actuator in parallel to the second controller.

* The disclosed systems include a third service brake actuator, such as an electronically activatable pressure valve, for enhanced braking applications.
* The third service brake actuator can be implemented using pneumatic select-high valves, providing mechanical max arbitration between pressure from the second and third controllers.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Incorporation of a third service brake actuator for triple redundancy in braking systems.
* Use of electronically activatable pressure valves for enhanced braking applications.
* Implementation of pneumatic select-high valves for mechanical max arbitration between controllers.

'''Potential Applications:'''
The technology can be applied in trucks and other vehicles where braking systems require high levels of redundancy and reliability.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Increased redundancy in braking systems.
* Enhanced safety and reliability in braking applications.

'''Benefits:'''
* Improved safety and reliability in braking systems.
* Redundancy to prevent brake failures in critical situations.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
The technology can be utilized in commercial trucking, public transportation, and other industries where reliable braking systems are essential for safety and efficiency.

'''Questions about Triple Redundant Brake Systems:'''
1. How does the incorporation of a third service brake actuator improve the redundancy of braking systems?
2. What are the potential applications of triple redundant brake systems in different industries?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

example embodiments relate to triple redundant brake systems for trucks and other types of vehicles. disclosed systems offer additional redundancy for braking applications by incorporating a third service brake actuator (e.g., a third ecu), which may be installed parallel to the second controller (e.g., a second ecu). in some examples, the third service brake actuator is an electronically activatable pressure valve and can be implemented using pneumatic select-high valves. these valves can be used to perform a mechanical max arbitration between pressure provided by the second controller and the third controller.
