Electro mechanical braking in a fail safe redundant power and communication architecture provides significant improvement in traffic safety and vehicle dynamics control on commercial vehicles.
Compared to a conventional pneumatical disc brake system an electro mechanical brake system has a quicker response and lower hysteresis which gives more accurate control of the braking performance.
By using self enforced actuation of the brakes also significant energy savings and simplified power system will be achieved. General requirements on low energy consumption in all vehicle systems have emphasized efforts to make use of the rotational energy from the wheels when braking.
