ABSTRACT:
A differential pressure brake system for a vehicle with one master cylinder and booster assembly operating the rear wheel brakes and another such assembly operating the front wheel brakes. Each booster is controlled by its own valve, which is in turn controlled by signals from a logic module receiving vehicle deceleration demand signals and wheel deceleration and/or wheel velocity signals. A single brake pedal acts through a force sensor and a whiffletree to provide for mechanical master cylinder operation and reaction. The pressure chambers in the boosters are operated to change the direction of differential pressure generated force from a brake release direction to a brake apply direction when the boosters are operated.
