Hybrid electro-mechanical brake apparatus and control method therefor

Abstract

Disclosed is a hybrid electro-mechanical brake apparatus and a control method therefor. The hybrid electro-mechanical brake apparatus includes a pedal simulator configured to simulate a depression state of a brake pedal, a data collection module configured to collect vehicle information, a wheel controller configured to drive an electric caliper mounted on either front or rear wheels of a vehicle to generate braking force, a hydraulic control module configured to control a flow path to provide braking pressure to a hydraulic caliper mounted on a wheel different from a wheel on which the electric caliper is installed, based on the depression state of the pedal simulator, and a processor operatively coupled to the data collection module, the wheel controller, and the hydraulic control module, and the processor determines a vehicle posture based on the vehicle information input from the data collection module, drives the hydraulic control module and the wheel controller to perform posture control, and drives the wheel controller and the hydraulic control module according to braking conditions to generate the braking force.
