What is the function of brake assist?
1 Answers
Brake assist functions to: shorten braking distance, ensure vehicle safety, monitor the frequency and force with which the driver presses the brake pedal, assist the driver in applying greater braking force to the vehicle during critical moments, enhance braking force, achieve higher braking effectiveness, and prevent traffic accidents. Brake assist comes in two types: mechanical and electronically controlled. Mechanical brake assist is modified from a standard brake booster, functioning as a booster when braking force is not substantial. As braking force increases, the pressure in the booster's pressure chamber rises, activating ABS. When the brake pedal is pressed quickly and with significant force, BAS (Brake Assist System) determines that the driver is performing emergency braking and rapidly increases braking force.
