First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of operating electric brakes for a vehicle, comprising:
- monitoring at least a voltage of a power system of the vehicle; and
adjusting a power provided from the power system to the electric brakes based on at least the monitored voltage to provide a substantially constant first power to the electric brakes over a range of voltages of the power system within a first behavioral zone.
