Electronic Brake force distribution (EBFD)

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.

3. 3 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

7. 7 BASIC WOKING SCHEMATIC

8. 8 Both front and rear tires have equal braking force i.e. 25% of total per tire. T he front tires have more braking force than rear tires.

9. 9 Visual description of how EBD system works on a vehicle

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. THANK YOU
