Abstract
An electro-hydraulic braking system of the type which operates normally in a brake-by-wire mode wherein hydraulic pressure is applied to braking devices at the vehicle wheels in proportion to the driver's braking demand as sensed electronically at a brake pedal, and which, if the brake-by-wire mode should fail, at least as far as the front brakes are concerned, operates in a push-through mode wherein hydraulic pressures are applied to the braking devices at the front wheels of the vehicle by way of a tandem master cylinder coupled mechanically to the brake pedal, wherein, in the situation where push-through operation has been selected at the front brakes but the rear brakes are continuing to be operated under EHB, a rear brake demand is calculated as a 'multiple average' from the expression: [P2+(P1+P3)/2]/2 where P1 and P3 are signals from the master cylinder and a front brake sensor in the same push-through circuit and P2 is a signal from the front brake sensor in the other circuit.
