Abstract

Driver assistance systems require for low-power electrical interfaces for braking control. At the same time for safety reasons a mechanical fallback level should be provided. At the Institute of Fluid Power Drives and Controls of the RWTH Aachen University (Germany) an innovative Self-Energising Hydraulic Brake is being developed to solve this conflict of objectives. Besides its low power consumption it features a closed loop control of the actual braking torque. The presented measuring results demonstrate the brake’s development potential for cars and utility vehicles.
