Estimating the term…
The described technology pertains to a control system for a brake of a vehicle equipped with an electric actuator designed to adjust the distance between a brake lining and a brake surface. The control system incorporates one or more processors collectively configured to monitor an electrical quantity of the actuator during brake activation, determine a running clearance target value based on the monitored electrical quantity, and drive the actuator to modify the distance according to the determined target value. The system promotes effective braking performance, minimizes wear, and enhances safety by maintaining precise clearance. The described technology further includes a brake, a vehicle, a method for controlling the system, and computer-readable instructions for implementing the method. Applications include vehicles requiring adaptive braking systems for improved efficiency and reliability under varying operational and environmental conditions.
