Vehicle Braking Apparatus Prioritizing Wheel Torque for Response
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vehicle braking apparatuses experience delayed braking force response during rapid deceleration, which affects the overall responsiveness of the braking system.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle braking apparatus with a dual braking torque generating mechanism that prioritizes the generation of braking force in either the front or rear wheels based on vehicle conditions, using a control mechanism to output commands for generating the braking force precedentially in the selected wheel portion, thereby improving responsiveness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If braking force is generated simultaneously in all wheels, then braking stability is maintained, but braking response time is delayed during rapid deceleration
Solution Approach 1:
The control mechanism preemptively identifies the optimal wheel portion (front or rear) based on vehicle conditions and prioritizes braking force generation in that portion before others. This preliminary selection and prioritized action sequence reduces the time to reach maximum braking force by focusing initial braking effort on the most effective wheel portion rather than distributing force simultaneously across all wheels.
2Speed
If braking force is prioritized in one wheel portion, then braking responsiveness is improved, but braking balance may be affected
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the braking force distribution strategy based on real-time vehicle conditions. The control mechanism selects which wheel portion (front or rear) should receive prioritized braking force depending on the specific driving scenario, making the braking system adaptive rather than fixed. This dynamic adjustment optimizes both responsiveness and stability for each unique situation.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies different braking force generation strategies to different wheel portions based on their specific characteristics and the current vehicle state. Instead of uniform braking distribution, the control mechanism tailors the braking approach to the optimal wheel portion (front or rear), giving each portion a specialized role in the braking process that enhances overall performance.

AI summary
Provided are a vehicle braking apparatus, a vehicle braking method, and a vehicle braking system, which improve the responsiveness of a braking force of a vehicle. The vehicle braking apparatus includes a braking torque generating mechanism configured to generate a braking torque in a first braking torque imparting portion that imparts a braking torque to a first wheel portion comprising either front or rear wheels of the vehicle and a second braking torque imparting portion that imparts a braking torque in a second wheel portion comprising the other ones of the front and rear wheels. The vehicle braking apparatus further includes a control mechanism configured to output to the braking torque generating mechanism a command for generating the braking force precedentially in the second wheel portion selected according to a condition of a vehicle as a wheel portion in which the braking force should be precedentially generated.
