Abstract:
A brake system (20) comprising: a master cylinder (26) and a pump (12) for selectively pressurizing an associated brake cylinder or cylinders; a motor (14) for powering the pump; a control circuit (16, 90) for modulating motor speed in response to a signal indicative of desired braking effort and actual braking effort; and a control valve (30) responsive to master cylinder pressure for controlling pump flow and for permitting the decay of pressure in the brake cylinders.
