Integrated Braking Systems – Generation 1 is a groundbreaking integrated braking system, combining brake force boosting and individual wheel brake pressure modulation into a single unit. The system emphasizes precise pressure buildup and release through a piston-cylinder unit driven by a brushless EC motor, which is controlled by various signals, including phase current and the rotor’s angular position. The pressure-volume (p-V) characteristic curve is utilized for both pilot feed-forward control during pressure buildup and for diagnostics. The system’s closed safety mechanism, unrestricted recuperation with a generator, and fully variable pedal characteristics are highlighted as significant advancements for future brake management.

Utilizing dual-action reciprocating pistons, the Integrated Braking Systems – Generation 2 ensure consistent and reliable performance by providing controlled pressure in both piston movements. The portfolio features compact and efficient drive devices, such as internal rotor motors with permanent magnets, delivering high torque and precise control. Advanced diagnostics continuously monitor the system through real-time assessment of seal integrity and valve functionality, employing innovative sensors and control algorithms. The pressure-volume delivery system includes dual-action pistons with multiple active surfaces and parallel-connected switching valves for efficient pressure management. Additionally, strategically placed outlet valves provide emergency pressure relief, directing excess pressure into an accumulator to maintain system balance and safety.

Braking systems for autonomous driving integrate Electronic Stability Program (ESP) units and redundant Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to ensure reliability and continuous operation, even during partial failures. Designed for autonomous and electric vehicles, these systems feature adaptive braking, advanced control algorithms, and two-wheel and four-wheel blending for energy recuperation, dynamically adjusting braking pressure based on driving conditions and supporting advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

Vehicle motion control systems prioritize safety with multiple redundancies in pressure supply and ECUs, coordinated by a centralized control unit that enhances stability and handling through torque vectoring. These systems also integrate seamlessly with other vehicle modules and include electric drive motors for improved acceleration, handling, and smooth transitions between braking and driving.
