Electric brake system and control method thereof

Abstract

An electric brake system, and more particularly, to an electric brake system and a control method thereof configured for controlling an amount of current applied to a valve in response to a driver's braking intent. The electric brake system according to an embodiment includes a hydraulic pressure circuit; an inlet valve provided in the hydraulic pressure circuit, configured to control the flow of a hydraulic pressure; a pressure sensor configured to sense a leak of the electric brake system; a pedal displacement sensor configured to sense an amount of requested braking according to the deceleration intent of a driver; and a controller configured to control an amount of current applied to the inlet valve provided in the hydraulic pressure circuit in which the sensed leak occurs, based on the sensed driver's requested braking amount.
