Abstract
A braking system includes a master cylinder including a master cylinder output, at least one wheel cylinder, a shuttle valve including a shuttle, a volume booster distinct from the master cylinder, a first hydraulic fluid path connecting the master cylinder output to the at least one wheel cylinder through the volume booster and the shuttle valve and a second hydraulic fluid path connecting the master cylinder output to the at least one wheel cylinder through the shuttle valve, bypassing the volume booster. Only one of the first hydraulic fluid path or the second hydraulic fluid path is operable at any one time.
