Integrated Braking Systems – Generation 1
These systems leverage electric motors to achieve precise and responsive braking, integrating advanced sensors and non-hydraulic mechanisms for optimal pressure control. Designed for hybrid vehicles, they feature regenerative braking capabilities and robust safety redundancies.
- Electromotor-Driven Brake Systems: Utilizes electric motors to apply brake force, enhancing response time and precision in braking performance.
- Non-Hydraulic Transmission Mechanisms: Employs non-hydraulic gear systems to adjust the piston in brake cylinders, ensuring reliable pressure control and system responsiveness.
- Advanced Sensor Integration: Incorporates multiple sensors to dynamically monitor and adjust braking parameters, including pedal travel, piston position, and electric motor current for optimal braking force distribution.
- Hybrid Vehicle Compatibility: Focuses on braking systems designed for hybrid vehicles, integrating regenerative braking capabilities to improve energy efficiency and performance.
- Redundant Safety Mechanisms: Includes fail-safe operations where manual control can take over in case of electrical system failure, maintaining braking capability under all conditions.
- ABS and Stability Control Integration: Integrates Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and stability control functions using controlled valves and accumulators to manage pressure and ensure vehicle stability during braking.
- Customizable Pedal Feel: Allows for the adjustment of pedal feel and responsiveness to meet driver preferences and specific vehicle requirements.
- Travel Simulator for Pedal Feedback: Provides realistic pedal feedback to the driver, mimicking the feel of traditional hydraulic brakes even in electronically controlled systems.
