HBA - Hydraulic Brake Assist

A hydraulic brake assist system that increases the pressure in the braking system extremely quickly in emergency situations and thus ensures optimum utilization of the system itself. The sensor system detects a sudden braking request based on the pressure level obtained with the pedal and the rate of pressure change.

The device processes the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal, in case it detects that the latter wants to completely stop the vehicle, automatically increases the brake pressure until the threshold value set for activating the brake is reached. ... 'ABS and for the entire time the pedal is depressed. When the driver releases the braking pressure, the system restores the braking force to the normally set value.

In this way, the braking distance can be drastically shortened. The operation of the device is almost invisible to the driver.

This system is especially suitable for those people who are not usually used to pressing the brake pedal hard and hard.
