BrakeBetter – Brake Systems Experts
Electromechanical Brakes (EMB) work differently compared to traditional hydraulic or pneumatic braking systems. (In a previous post, we’ve examined the different Brake-by-Wire constellations.) EMB replaces the hydraulic actuators with electronic systems to control the brake action. Here’s a high-level overview of how EMBs function: Brake Application: An electric signal is sent from the brake system’s …
Ceci n’est pas une pipe In this post, we shall spend some time exploring the topic of brake by wire, and look at the various flavours of decoupled brake systems already in the market, as well as the prospects for Brake-by-Wire using electrical energy as the energy transmission system. We will also discuss the advantages …
In this instalment, I will examine the topic of automated driving, and look at how the rise of autonomous vehicles will change the demands placed on brake systems The first thing we need to establish is what constitutes an autonomous car, then look at where we are today, what can we expect in the next …
