VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18517278 titled 'VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The vehicle braking system described in the patent application includes a controller that closes a solenoid valve based on a boosting request and a determination unit that assesses whether the braking load is within a steady range or a caution range. When the braking load exceeds a certain threshold, the system executes braking control using a steeper valve closing characteristic to ensure safety.
- Controller closes solenoid valve based on boosting request

Original Abstract Submitted
Vehicle braking system includes controller that performs driving control to close a normally-open solenoid valve based on required boosting request, and determination unit that determines whether a braking load upon boosting request is in a steady range. When the braking load upon the boosting request exceeds a predetermined first load threshold, the determination unit determines that the braking load is in a caution range above the steady range. When the braking load upon the boosting request is in the caution range, the controller executes braking control using a first valve closing transient characteristic to close the solenoid valve from the point of occurrence of the boosting request. The first valve closing transient characteristic is set steeper than a second valve closing transient characteristic to close the solenoid valve from the point of occurrence of the boosting request when the braking load upon the boosting request is in the steady range.
