Brake system and method of controlling the same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a brake system and a method of controlling the same, the brake system including a plurality of electromechanical brakes including motors respectively installed in wheels of a vehicle and configured to generate braking forces, and a controller configured to receive a signal outputted from a brake pedal sensor of the vehicle, determine target braking torque, and apply motor-applied currents to the motors on the basis of the target braking torque, in which the controller decreases the motor-applied current by a predetermined amount of decrease in electric current when the target braking torque is maintained for a preset period of time, thereby improving energy efficiency by recovering a part of the motor-applied current without affecting actual braking force.
