ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary braking system for use in a vehicle when operating under heavy stop-go traffic conditions. A linear motor control switch is mounted on a spoke of the steering wheel of the vehicle and is electrically connected to a linear motor which is linked to the control rod of the vehicle braking system. The control rod is also mechanically linked to the conventional brake pedal and may be joined to a vacuum chamber or other power coupling that operates the hydraulic brake piston of the vehicle. The linear motor is linked to the control rod so as to push the control rod towards the position of increased braking, permitting the conventional foot brake pedal to readily override the linear motor for purposes of increased braking.
