ANTI-SKID PROTECTION WITH UNDETECTED PRESSURE SENSOR FAILURE

A method for controlling brakes is provided. The method comprises detecting an imminent skid by an anti-skid controller/deceleration controller (ASK/DK) (112; 312). The ASK/DK (112; 312) outputs at least one of a negative desired pressure command (124) to a pressure control unit (PK) (116) in response to detecting the imminent skid and causes a current command output (126) from the PK (116) to be reduced to release braking pressure if the negative desired pressure command (124) minus a measured feedback pressure (132) is greater than a deadband of the PK (116) or outputs a negative desired force command (322) to a force control unit (ForK) (316) in response to detecting the imminent skid and causing a current command output (326) from the ForK (316) to be reduced to release braking force if the negative desired force command (322) minus a measured feedback force (332) is greater than a deadband of the ForK (316). A brake control system (100; 300) is also provided.
