Patent attributes
In a vehicle attitude control system of an automotive vehicle employing a pump-and-motor assembly, and a hydraulic actuator that regulates fluid pressures in wheel-brake cylinders of road wheels of the vehicle, independently of each other, a control unit is electronically connected to at least a motor of the pump-and-motor assembly and the hydraulic actuator, for executing vehicle attitude control by controlling a discharge pressure of the motor-driven pump and by controlling the fluid pressures in the wheel-brake cylinders to respective desired fluid pressures independently of each other. A processing unit of the control unit is programmed to determine a duty ratio of a drive signal of the motor, based on the desired fluid pressure of at least one of the wheel-brake cylinders.
