ABSTRACT:
A brake pressure control mechanism for establishing a pressure level in a brake actuator includes a valve controlled by the current in a solenoid coil. The current in the coil is controlled in a first mode by switching the current in the coil off and on and allowing the current to increase and decay in the normal manner. However, when a fast decrease in brake pressure is demanded, the fly-back voltage across the coil is allowed to rapidly increase to a level greater than and in opposition to the voltage applied to the coil, thereby quickly driving the current lower. Current is driven to zero in the case of a fast brake pressure decay being demanded by the adaptive braking system or when the vehicle operator releases the brakes. When the error signal demands a fast decay, the fast decay mode is initiated and then returned to the normal control when the error between the demanded braking pressure and the pressure corresponding to the current of the coil is back within predetermined limits.
