Abstract

A hydraulic pressure control system for a split brake system which includes a tandem master cylinder having first and second hydraulic pressure sources, at least first and second wheel cylinders, a first brake pressure supply line communicating the first source with the first wheel cylinder, a second brake pressure supply line communicating the second source with the second wheel cylinder, a first hydraulic pressure control device positioned within the first supply line for controlling output hydraulic pressure transmitted therefrom with respect to hydraulic pressure transmitted from the first source, and a second hydraulic pressure control device positioned within the second supply line for controlling output hydraulic pressure transmitted therefrom with respect to input hydraulic pressure transmitted from the second source in response to the output hydraulic pressure transmitted from the first control device such that the output pressures of the first and second control device are proportionally controlled.
