Electric brake-by-wire brake
Bosch Motorsport brings an innovation to the world of endurance racing: the hybrid system for the new Le Mans Daytona hybrid prototype class. This development marks a significant change in endurance racing as the new rules allow manufacturers and teams to compete with the same vehicle in the two premier endurance racing series - the FIA World Endurance Championship and the IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship - for the first time in over two decades. This includes prestigious races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Daytona and the 1000 Miles of Sebring. Bosch Motorsport's contribution underlines its commitment to innovation and performance in motorsports.
Braking system for autonomous vehicles
11.07.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX | That Brake-by-Wire Smart Brake-Brake system from Chassis Brakes Internationally, it is intended to replace the current hydraulically operated braking systems and form the basis for the future braking systems of autonomously operated vehicles. During driving tests in Lapland, ten customers had the opportunity to experience for themselves the braking performance of the Smart Brake, installed on all four wheels of the demonstration vehicle.
The system enables full braking functionality, including Anti-lock and traction control, as well as parking brake function. The brake-by-wire system, in combination with innovative control strategies, can help further shorten the braking distance of future vehicles.
The system also reduces the vehicle's residual braking torque when the brake is not in use, which improves fuel consumption and therefore reduces the CO2 emissions contributes. The single-actuator design combines service and parking brakes on all four wheels.
"Our Smart Brake system offers vehicle manufacturers a simplified and dry braking solution that reduces the complexity of the system architecture, the number of components, weight and also maintenance requirements," said Thomas wishes, Global CEO of Chassis Brakes International. "Our system not only reduces the hardware components, it also increases performance and offers additional functionalities compared to conventional systems."
Electric parking brake with higher holding ability
13.06.2019 | Chassis Brakes International has developed a new product family of particularly powerful electric parking brakes (Boost EPBs) specifically for vehicles with electric brake boosters.
The EPB Boost systems Compared to standard EPBs, they offer maximized clamping forces and, as a result, higher holding capabilities, even for heavy vehicles. In addition, the weight could also be reduced thanks to the installation size, which gives the developers more freedom in the design. The higher clamping forces of the EPB are achieved by pressure support from the electric brake booster, which is controlled using special software.
Electric, hybrid-electric and autonomous vehicles will require increasingly complex braking controls in the future. EPB Boost systems are a further step in the development of the Wheel brakes – from mechanical braking systems to mechatronic braking systems. The design of Chassis Brakes EPB systems is weight-optimized, so that consumption and CO2 emissions are significantly reduced. The EPB system is also suitable for future generations of commercial vehicles.
