Abstract

Disclosed herein are a brake system and a controlling method thereof. The brake system in accordance with the present embodiment includes a wheel speed sensor configured to output a signal responding to a speed of a vehicle, a pressure detection sensor configured to output a signal responding to a braking pressure of the vehicle, and a controller configured to detect whether the vehicle has an accident, based on a signal received from a shock detection senor configured to output a signal responding to a shock applied to the vehicle, and detect whether the wheel speed sensor has an abnormality based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor, and the controller performs deceleration control of the vehicle based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor when detecting that the wheel speed sensor has no abnormality and performs the deceleration control of the vehicle based on the signal received from the pressure detection sensor when detecting that the wheel speed sensor has the abnormality.

Claims (29)

1 . A brake system comprising:

a pressure detection sensor configured to output a signal responding to a braking pressure of a vehicle; and

a controller configured to detect whether the vehicle has an accident based on a signal received from a shock detection sensor configured to output a signal responding to a shock applied to the vehicle, and detect whether a wheel speed sensor has an abnormality based on a signal received from the wheel speed sensor configured to output a signal responding to a speed of a vehicle,

wherein the controller performs a deceleration control of the vehicle based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor when detecting that the wheel speed sensor has no abnormality, and

performs the deceleration control of the vehicle based on the signal received from the pressure detection sensor when detecting that the wheel speed sensor has the abnormality,

wherein the controller performs the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target braking pressure based on the signal received from the pressure detection sensor.

2 . The brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller performs the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target longitudinal deceleration based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor.

3 . The brake system of claim 1 , wherein the target braking pressure is set to follow a preset target longitudinal deceleration.

4 . The brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller detects whether the wheel speed sensor has the abnormality only when detecting that the vehicle has the accident.

5 . The brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller receives the signal from the pressure detection sensor only when detecting that the wheel speed sensor has the abnormality.

6 . The brake system of claim 1 , wherein the controller detects that the vehicle has the accident by receiving an airbag deployment signal output upon deployment of an airbag installed in the vehicle to be deployed or not deployed based on the signal received from the shock detection sensor.

7 . The brake system of claim 1 , further comprising a vehicle stop detection sensor configured to output a signal responding to a stop of the vehicle.

8 . The brake system of claim 7 , wherein the controller suspends the deceleration control of the vehicle based on the signal received from the vehicle stop detection sensor.

9 . The brake system of claim 7 , wherein the controller performs the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target longitudinal deceleration based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor until receiving the signal from the vehicle stop detection sensor, or

performs the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target braking pressure based on the signal received from the pressure detection sensor.

10 . A controlling method of a brake system, the method comprising:

detecting whether a vehicle has an accident based on a signal received from a shock detection sensor configured to output a signal responding to a shock applied to the vehicle;

detecting whether a wheel speed sensor has an abnormality based on a signal received from the wheel speed sensor configured to output a signal responding to a speed of the vehicle in response to detecting the accident of the vehicle;

performing a deceleration control of the vehicle based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor when the abnormality of the wheel speed sensor is not detected; and

performing the deceleration control of the vehicle based on a signal received from a pressure detection sensor configured to output a signal responding to a braking pressure of the vehicle when the abnormality of the wheel speed sensor is detected,

wherein the performing of the deceleration control of the vehicle includes performing the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target braking pressure based on the signal received from the pressure detection sensor.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the performing of the deceleration control of the vehicle includes performing the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target longitudinal deceleration based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the target braking pressure is set to follow a preset target longitudinal deceleration.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the detecting of whether the wheel speed sensor has the abnormality is performed only when detecting that the vehicle has the accident.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the receiving of the signal responding to the braking pressure of the vehicle from the pressure detection sensor is performed only when detecting that the wheel speed sensor has the abnormality.

15 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the detecting of whether the vehicle has the accident includes receiving an airbag deployment signal output upon deployment of an airbag installed in the vehicle to be deployed or not deployed based on the signal received from the shock detection sensor.

16 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising suspending the deceleration control of the vehicle based on a signal received from a vehicle stop detection sensor configured to output a signal responding to a stop of the vehicle.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the performing of the deceleration control of the vehicle includes performing the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target longitudinal deceleration based on the signal received from the wheel speed sensor until receiving the signal from the vehicle stop detection sensor.

18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the performing of the deceleration control of the vehicle includes performing the deceleration control of the vehicle by generating and outputting a braking signal following a preset target braking pressure based on the signal received from the pressure detection sensor until receiving the signal from the vehicle stop detection sensor.
