The method involves rolling a wheel (10) via a rolling surface (12), and minimizing driving speed (v) of a vehicle with respect to the rolling surface. The wheel is applied with braking torque (Mb) that is opposite to direction of rotation (14) acting on t...

A brake system for a vehicle is comprised of a first brake system (7;106) that mechanically applies a braking force to wheels (4L,4R;103FL,103FR) according to a master cylinder hydraulic pressure outputted from a master cylinder (2;102) which receives a br...

An electronically controlled hydraulic brake system is configured to obtain an attainment brake hydraulic pressure (P*M) which can be achieved when a motor drive current command value is applied to a pressure increasing pump motor, to set a virtual initial...

A drive controller for a rail vehicle is disclosed comprising a drive control member (20) and a control unit (22), the control unit is adapted to generate a drive signal upon movement of the drive control member in a first direction (B) with respect to the...

A blended electrical/friction braking system includes an electric brake feedback monitor which monitors a first signal corresponding to an electric brake effort request of an electric motor of an electrically powered vehicle. The electric brake feedback mo...
