Patent ID: 8812212

Claim:
A system for correcting brake knockback in a vehicle, comprising: a sensor having an output that provides a lateral acceleration signal, the lateral acceleration signal includes information regarding a lateral acceleration of the vehicle; an electronic module having an input coupled to the sensor output, an electronic processing device, an electronic memory device, and an output that provides a command signal; and a hydraulic pump for pressurizing hydraulic fluid in a vehicle disk brake system according to the command signal in order to correct brake knockback, wherein the electronic module is configured to: use the lateral acceleration signal to identify a first lateral acceleration extremity in a first direction, use the lateral acceleration signal to identify a second lateral acceleration extremity in a second direction, add a brake knockback associated with the first lateral acceleration extremity to a brake knockback associated with the second lateral acceleration extremity to estimate a total brake knockback, and generating the command signal based on the total brake knockback.
