Abstract
The integrated adaptive braking and traction control system assembly (10) comprises an elongated body (12) having a bore (16) with a master cylinder mechanism (18) disposed therein. The body (12) includes a plurality of valve devices (26) for adaptive braking and traction control, a plurality of passages which connect the master cylinder mechanism (18) with the valve devices (26) and selected valve devices with other selected valve devices, a four-channel pump mechanism (90) for communicating fluid pressure toward associated wheel brakes (52, 62, 72, 82) of the vehicle, displacement chambers (42A, 42B, 42C, 42D) with displacement pistons (43) disposed therein, and a reservoir (40) which communicates with the master cylinder mechanism (40) and adaptive braking and traction control systems.
