Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a first manual brake handle; an electromechanical brake controller (“EMAC”); a first potentiometer in mechanical communication with the first manual brake handle; a second manual brake handle in mechanical communication with a second potentiometer; a comparator that receives a first output voltage from the first potentiometer and a second output voltage from the second potentiometer; a mapping module in electrical communication with the comparator, wherein the mapping module receives an output from the comparator comprising the greater of the first output voltage and the second output voltage, wherein the mapping module produces a braking command output, wherein the EMAC receives the braking command output, wherein the mapping module comprises an analog to digital converter (“ADC”), wherein the ADC creates a digital representation of the output from the comparator wherein the mapping module further comprises a mapper, and wherein the mapper maps the digital representation of the output from the comparator to a predetermined braking command.
