Abstract
An anti-lock brake system having an electronic control responsive to wheel speed sensors associated with each wheel of the vehicle. The electronic control generates a pedal inhibit signal activating a hydraulic cylinder to inhibit further depression of the brake foot pedal in response to detecting at least one of the wheels approaching a locked state. The electronic control will also generate brake pressure control signals activating an anti-lock brake actuator connected between the brake foot pedal and the input to the vacuum power booster of the brake system. The anti-lock brake actuator, in response to the brake pressure control signals, will maintain a maximum friction between the wheels of the vehicle and the road surface.
