Abstract
The invention concerns braking systems for vehicles. The invention provides one, or more, electrically actuated pressure generators, which provide hydraulic pressure for actuating hydraulic brakes. Electric actuation allows control by electronic signals, which are generated by a microprocessor-based controller. The pressure generators can be retro-fitted to existing hydraulic brake cylinders. The controller may be incorporated into, or operate in conjunction with, the on-board engine computer.
