Abstract
A brake control system includes a master cylinder for developing a brake fluid pressure in response to brake pedal displacement, wheel cylinders mounted to front and rear wheels and adapted to develop a braking force, an actuator for feeding the brake fluid pressure to the respective wheel cylinders, and a controller adapted to enable the actuator to provide a controlled brake fluid pressure to the respective wheel cylinders. Two switch valves are adapted to normally prevent fluid communication between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders and in the event of a system failure, permit fluid communication between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinders and prevent fluid communication between the actuator and the wheel cylinders. The switch valves are mounted solely to the wheel cylinders of the front wheels.
