Abstract
A braking system for braking a wheel of an automotive vehicle, including a brake for braking the wheel and an operating device operable to produce an output corresponding to an input thereof, for activating the brake according to the output, and wherein a change of the output of the operating device is delayed with respect to a change of the input depending upon an operating condition of the braking system. The braking system includes a brake-operating-force increasing device operable on the basis of a delay of the change of the output of the operating device with respect to the change of the input, to increase an operating force of the brake to a value which is larger than a value corresponding to the output of the operating device.
