INTRODUCTION
EBD is an automobile brake technology that
automatically varies the amount of force applied to
each of a vehicle's wheels based on road conditions,
speed, loading on wheel etc.
4. 4
Heavy braking pushes the weight of vehicle forward
onto its front wheels
Wheels carrying heavier load will require more
braking force in order to stop the automobile without
going out of control.
PRINCIPLE
5. 5
MAIN PURPOSES
To prevent the wheels of a vehicles from locking up.
To prevent the vehicle from over-steering and under-
steering
To effectively reduce the stopping distance of a
vehicle.
6. 6
KEY COMPONENTS OF EBD SYSTEM
Electronic control unit (ECU)
Speed sensor, Yaw sensor etc.
Brake force modulator
10. 10
Shorter stopping distance.
Reduces the risk of fishtailing .
MERITS
DEMERITS
Makes the braking Expensive.
EBD is only useful at speeds under a certain threshold level.
