Abstract
A brake-by-wire system uses a time sequence type that determines road conditions before initialization, initializes EWBs (Electro Wedge Brake) at the left/right front wheels and EMBs (Electro Mechanical Brake) at the left/right rear wheels with time differences on the basis of the determined road conditions. Therefore, the clamping force in at least any one of the EWBs and the EMBs is maintained in any circumstances, thereby avoiding a situation that all the braking force of a vehicle is removed.
Claims19
A method of controlling a brake-by-wire system of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a brake-by-wire system comprising a plurality of electrically controlled brakes, wherein the plurality of electrically controlled brakes comprises a first brake installed on a first wheel, a second brake installed on a second wheel, a third wheel installed on a third wheel and a fourth brake installed on a fourth wheel, wherein the first and second wheels are front wheels of a vehicle and the third and fourth wheels are rear wheels of the vehicle;
- determining whether the vehicle is in a slope;
- and
- when determined that the vehicle is in a slope, initializing two of the brakes among the first, second, third and fourth brakes while the other two brakes maintain braking of the corresponding wheels.
A method of controlling a brake-by-wire system of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- providing a brake-by-wire system of a vehicle comprising a plurality of electrically controlled brakes, each of which is installed on one of the wheels of a vehicle, wherein the plurality of electrically controlled brakes comprises first and second brakes which are controllable to operate independently from each other;
- initializing the second brake while the first brake maintains braking of a first wheel on which the first brake is installed;
- initializing the first brake while the second brake maintains braking of a second wheel on which the second brake is installed.
