Abstract
A brake system includes first brake assist means arranged in a first brake circuit to increase a first wheel cylinder pressure to a level higher than a master cylinder pressure. The brake system further includes second brake assist means arranged in a second brake circuit to increase a second wheel cylinder pressure to a level higher than the master cylinder pressure. The second brake assist means includes a brake regulator mechanism that uses the increased first wheel cylinder pressure as a pilot pressure and adjusts the increased second wheel cylinder pressure to a pressure falling within a predetermined range from the increased first wheel cylinder pressure when the first brake assist means is activated.
