Abstract:
A brake system for a vehicle, comprising:a brake pedal operated by a driver to apply a braking force to the vehicle;a brake fluid pressure generating device for generating brake fluid pressure in correspondence with a state of operation of said brake pedal;a braking force generating device for receiving said brake fluid pressure and generating wheel braking forces in vehicle wheels;operation state detecting means for detecting the state of operation of said brake pedal;reference braking state setting means for setting a reference deceleration in correspondence with the state of operation of said brake pedal;actual braking state detecting means for detecting an actual deceleration of at least one of said vehicle and said vehicle wheels;comparing means for comparing said reference deceleration and said actual deceleration; andcontrolling means for increasing said brake fluid pressure to be received by said braking force generating device when said reference deceleration is larger than said actual deceleration by a given amount.
