Abstract
An electro-pneumatic vehicle braking system controls braking by electronic signals transmitted from a master controller to the brakes of the vehicle controlled by axle controllers. The master controller is responsive to the actuation of a treadle by the vehicle operator to calculate the difference between a requested vehicle deceleration and the actual vehicle deceleration, which is calculated based on data sensed by wheel sensors. Service braking pressure is then set to maintain the requested vehicle deceleration.
