Abstract
Electronically controlled pneumatic brake system and method for an automotive vehicle, said system comprising a front axle brake module (FBM) for providing pneumatic control pressure to the left and right front pneumatic brake actuators (FW-L, FW-R), one or more rear axle brake module (RBM) for providing pneumatic control pressure to the left and right rear pneumatic brake actuators (RW-L,RW-R), an air production module () selectively providing air under pressure to said front and rear axles electronic brake modules via a first air supply circuit (AC) for the rear axle, a second air supply circuit (AC) for the front axle, first and second air reservoirs (R,R), respectively coupled to first and second air supply circuits, and a third reservoir (R) and a third air supply circuit (AC) connected to the third reservoir (R), for providing a redundant pneumatic supply to the front and rear axle brake modules, the third air supply circuit (AC) providing same braking performance as the first air supply circuit (AC) for the rear axle and same braking performance as the second air supply circuit (AC) for the front axle.
