Abstract
The vehicle brake system includes electronic control logic and an electrically controllable pressure modulator for the brake actuating device of each wheel responsive to the output of the control logic. A brake-signal transmitter transmits to the control logic the value of the desired vehicle deceleration and a deceleration responsive device mounted on the vehicle transmits to the control logic the value of the actual vehicle deceleration. The control logic adjusts the brake pressure supplied by each pressure modulator by a signal dependent upon the difference between the desired value and actual value of the vehicle deceleration. The brake system disclosed is an all digital system and is not temperature sensitive. The brake system also includes antiskid capabilities.
