Abstract
A brake proportioning system for a motor vehicle is responsive to the presence or absence of loads exceeding a threshold at passenger and cargo-carrying locations in the vehicle and includes load presence sensor switches, a signal processing system such as an onboard computer, and an electrically controllable brake proportion valve that has a plurality of finite settings controllable in response to passenger and cargo-load presences in the vehicle. The ratio of rear-to-front braking effort is controlled by the proportion valve so that the ratio increases as the number of passenger and cargo-load presences increases. The location of the loads in the vehicle can also influence the brake proportion ratio.
