We have developed a new brake booster that assists the driver's pedal effort applied on the brake pedal, with the objective of shortening the stopping distance upon emergency braking. Based on the survey with actual vehicle evaluation, we clarified the input/output characteristics of the brake booster with which the driver will experience minimal discomfort during system in operation. We adopted the auxiliary variable pressure chamber type construction for the brake booster. This construction minimizes the volume of required airflow, which in turn, allows the use of a compact solenoid valve and eliminates the need for a release switch. As a result, we realized a system that provides a high level of fail-safe performance.
