B60T 8/6 using electrical circuitry for controlling the braking action, the circuitry deriving a control function relating to the dynamic of the braked vehicle or wheel
Introduced: January 1985
Last revised: January 2006
Full Title
Arrangements for adjusting wheel-braking force to meet varying vehicular or ground-surface conditions, e.g. limiting or varying distribution of braking force > responsive to a speed condition, e.g. acceleration or deceleration > responsive to speed and another condition or to plural speed conditions > using electrical circuitry for controlling the braking action, the circuitry deriving a control function relating to the dynamic of the braked vehicle or wheel

- B60T 8/62 wherein the individual vehicle wheels are provided (i) with self-contained braking systems operating the individual wheels in accordance with its dynamic state or (ii) with a central processing unit which receives input from individual wheels or wheel groups and produces a plurality of control signals for separately operating individual wheels or groups of wheels
- B60T 8/64 wherein the controlled braking action is characterised by the manner in which the braking fluid pressure is reduced or reapplied
- B60T 8/66 wherein the braking action is responsive to the difference between a computed or other theoretical vehicle speed and an actual speed of a wheel thereof
