Abstract
Methods for brake pressure control in a vehicular antilock brake system wherein brake pressure is restored to within a window of peak brake pressure after a reduction in pressure in response to a forced departure during vehicle braking. In a preferred embodiment, the pressure reduction is adaptively controlled. The vehicle has a plurality of wheels and each wheel has brake. The method includes increasing brake pressure at a wheel so as to attain a prereduction peak brake pressure, and initiating a pressure reduction mode of operation wherein brake fluid flows from the brake of the wheel. The method also includes restoring the brake pressure at the wheel to the desired brake pressure after termination of the pressure reduction mode of operation without making actual brake pressure measurements.
