Abstract
A secondary source of braking for large hydraulically braked vehicles utilizing the available power source (,) provided by typically available anti-skid and traction control braking systems. The anti-skid braking system is used to control the secondary braiding function in a manner optimal to the operating condition of the vehicle. Unique distinctive operating modes are used when the vehicle is either moving (,), or stationary (,). The advantages of the stationary mode are fast time response and high output pressure controlled with a minimum of pump operation and fluid movement. The advantages of the dynamic mode are the ability to modulate brake pressure in response to the driver's command.
