A system that integrates all braking components into a modular device that greatly increase vehicle safety. It may contain anti-lock brake systems (ABS), anti-spin function anti-slip regulation (ASR), and the like. During braking, vehicle stability is improved by simultaneous axle and wheel management of all brakes. The braking power is distributed in a more uniform way such that the system reduces stopping distances by several meters.

Additional Information for Electronic Braking System

Electronic Braking Systems (EBS) are advanced braking systems used in vehicles. They are part of the supply class Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, and Track Components, which falls under the supply group Vehicular Equipment Components.

EBS is a modern braking system that utilizes electronic sensors and controls to enhance the performance and safety of the braking system. It replaces traditional hydraulic braking systems with electronic components, allowing for more precise control and faster response times.

Some key features and components of an Electronic Braking System include:

1. Electronic Control Unit (ECU): The ECU is the brain of the system, responsible for receiving input from various sensors and controlling the braking system accordingly.

2. Wheel Speed Sensors: These sensors monitor the rotational speed of each wheel and provide data to the ECU. This information is crucial for the system to detect wheel lock-up or wheel slip and adjust the braking force accordingly.

3. Brake Pressure Modulator: The brake pressure modulator is responsible for controlling the hydraulic pressure to each wheel brake. It adjusts the pressure based on the input from the ECU to prevent wheel lock-up and ensure optimal braking performance.

4. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): ABS is a key feature of EBS that prevents wheel lock-up during braking. It rapidly modulates the brake pressure to each wheel to maintain traction and stability, allowing the driver to maintain steering control even during emergency braking.

5. Traction Control System (TCS): TCS is another feature of EBS that helps prevent wheel slip during acceleration. It reduces engine power and applies braking force to the wheels that are slipping, allowing for better traction and stability.

6. Electronic Stability Control (ESC): ESC is an advanced safety feature that uses the EBS to detect and correct skidding or loss of control. It applies individual wheel braking and engine torque reduction to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle during sudden maneuvers or slippery conditions.

Overall, Electronic Braking Systems offer improved safety, performance, and control compared to traditional braking systems. They are widely used in modern vehicles to enhance braking efficiency and ensure optimal driving experience.
