Patent ID: 8185288

Claim:
A brake system for a vehicle, comprising: a sensor device adapted to detect an input of a driver of the vehicle for reducing a current speed of the vehicle and to provide a corresponding first and second sensor signal; a first and a second brake control device directly connected to the sensor device, each of the first and second brake control devices adapted to provide, in an active state and upon receiving at least one of the first and second sensor signal, a corresponding control signal; and a first and a second signal line to transmit a control signal, the first signal line directly connecting the first brake control device to a first and a second wheel actuator device and the second signal line directly connecting the second brake control device to a third and a fourth wheel actuator device, each of the first, second, third and fourth wheel actuator devices being respectively associated with one wheel of the vehicle and in an active state being adapted to exert a braking torque on the associated wheel upon receiving the control signal, and the first wheel actuator device being directly connected to at least one of the second brake control device and the sensor device; wherein the first wheel actuator device is directly connected to a first subdevice of the sensor device via a sixth signal line and the third wheel actuator device is directly connected to a second subdevice of the sensor device via a seventh signal line.
