Brake control system and method having variable braking modes
First Claim
1. A brake control system having variable braking modes, comprising:
- an operation part provided to allow a driver to selectively input one of a plurality of predetermined braking characteristics modes;
a brake input detector for detecting a brake pedal operation variance or a brake pedal manipulation force of the driver;
a controller receiving a mode selection signal from the operation part to recognize a braking characteristic mode selected by the driver, and then controlling a wheel brake to generate a predetermined pattern of braking force in the braking characteristic mode selected by the driver based on the brake pedal operation variance and a brake pedal operation force detected by the brake input detector; and
a pedal effort variable device adjusting a pedal stroke of a pedal simulator with respect to a driver'"'"'s pedal effort according to a control signal of the controller,wherein the controller receives the mode selection signal from the operation part to recognize the selected braking characteristic mode and controls the pedal effort variable device to vary the pedal stroke of the pedal simulator with respect to the driver'"'"'s pedal effort according to the selected braking characteristic mode, such that different braking forces are generated according to the selected braking characteristic mode even when a same pedal effort is applied.

Abstract
A brake control system and method having variable braking modes includes an operation part, a brake input detector, and a controller. The operation part is disposed to allow a driver to selectively input one of a plurality of predetermined braking characteristics modes. The brake input detector detects a brake pedal operation variance or a brake pedal manipulation force of the driver. The controller receives a mode selection signal from the operation part to recognize a braking characteristic mode selected by the driver, and then controls a wheel brake to generate a predetermined pattern of braking force in the braking characteristic mode selected by the driver based on the brake pedal operation variance and the brake pedal operation force detected by the brake input detector.

6. A brake control method having variable braking modes, comprising:
-
selectively inputting, by a driver, one of a plurality of predetermined braking characteristic modes by operating an operation part; receiving, by a controller, a mode selection signal from the operation part to recognize the braking characteristic mode selected by the driver; and controlling a wheel brake to generate a predetermined pattern of braking force in the braking characteristic mode selected by the driver based on a brake pedal operation variance and a brake pedal operation force detected by a brake input detector, wherein the controller receives the mode selection signal from the operation part to recognize the selected braking characteristic mode and controls a pedal effort variable device, which adjusts a pedal stroke of a pedal simulator with respect to a driver'"'"'s pedal effort according to a control signal of the controller, to vary the pedal stroke of the pedal simulator with respect to the driver'"'"'s pedal effort according to the selected braking characteristic mode, such that different braking forces are generated according to the selected braking characteristic mode even when a same pedal effort is applied. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)
