Abstract

A redundant brake control and anti-skid system is described for providing braking to a vehicle. The system includes a primary brake control assembly for performing brake control and anti-skid functions, and a secondary brake control assembly for performing brake control and anti-skid functions. A bus is provided for enabling communications between the primary brake control assembly and the secondary brake control assembly. At least one brake actuator controlled by the primary brake control assembly and at least one other brake actuator controlled by the secondary brake control assembly are included for providing braking force to wheels of the vehicle.
