AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing braking systems require complex designs with multiple valves and components, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential failures, especially in the event of pressure build-up failures or power outages.

Method used

An actuator module with a simplified design that integrates a closed-loop control valve and a circuit isolator valve, eliminating the need for a switching valve, and a modulator module with redundant pumps and pressure sensors to ensure independent brake pressure generation and distribution, even in failure scenarios.

Benefits of technology

Facilitates a simpler brake system design with enhanced reliability and functionality, allowing independent brake pressure generation and distribution across axles, including anti-lock braking systems, while maintaining operation during power failures or component malfunctions.
