EBD (EMERGENCY BRAKING DISTRIBUTOR):

1. Explain what the EBD system is.

Answer:
 Electronic braking distribution (EBD) is an automobile brake system that automatically
changes the amount of force applied specifically to each of the wheels of a vehicle
between the front and rear ends. It operates depend road conditions, speed and load. In
general, the basic parts are always coupled with anti-lock braking systems (ABS), EBD will
add more or less brake pressure to each wheel to increase stopping power while
retaining vehicle stability.
 The front wheels usually carries the most weight, and EBD distributes less stopping
power to the rear brakes to keep the rear brakes from locking up and causing a skid. In
certain systems, before the weight transfer effects are apparent, EBD distributes more
braking pressure at the rear brakes during initial brake application.
 Electronic Brake Force Distribution, or EBD, is a vehicle's anti-lock braking and electronic
stability control (ESC) subsystem. During a braking event, the EBD mechanism utilizes the
ESC and ABS of the car to determine the optimal distribution of brake force over all four
wheels. EBD often uses a yaw sensor on the chassis to sense the vehicle's pitch and roll.

• Wheel Speed sensors
• Load sensor / yaw sensor
• Electronic Control Unit (ECU) / control unit.

3. Explain the function and operation with aid of diagram solenoid valve in EBD system.
Answer:
 The solenoid valve in the EBD system manages each tire cylinder's brake fluid pressure,
and equally divides the regulation power between the front and rear wheels and the
right rear and left wheels. And if any mistake or fault arises in the system, the warning
lights of ABS and BRAKE and the VSC OFF and SLIP illuminate indicator lights to show
malfunctions in the EBD system.
 A pair of valves in the EBD system basically have three operating phases which are:-
1. Increase pressure which is during this stage, brake fluid is allowed to flow through
both solenoid to the brake calliper.
2. Hold pressure stage happens when no additional fluid passes from the solenoid to
the brake calliper while all solenoids are closed.
3. Decrease pressure stage is also called pressure vent mode which when the pressure
increase solenoid is close. Instead, it enables the solenoid to expand and let the fluid
flow into the chamber of the accumulator.

4. Interpreted the EBD Brake function and advantages over conventional types
Answer:
 Vehicle equipped with EBD brake function greatly decreases the risk of locking the
brakes.
 It also offers better steering chances during normal and hard braking than vehicles that
are not equipped with EBD brake feature.
 EBD-equipped braking system often significantly reduces the possibility of vehicles
skidding.
 EBD brake system certainly has faster reactions to situations because of a fully electronic
& computer-controlled system.
 The EBD also guarantees that the right amount of force is added to each wheel by the
weight it supports.
 Besides this, it is extremely adaptable to all surface and road conditions than traditional
type of brake.
 It has a stronger braking force distribution at any condition and load between front end
and rear end than traditional form.

5. Describe the Types, layout and operation of EBD system.
Draw the diagram OR paste your diagram here.
Answer:
 Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) system is type of brake system that actually a part
of the Anti-lock Braking System. This automobile brake technology helps to control and apply
the braking force necessary for each wheel according to the condition of the road, the load
of the automobile and its speed. The EBD ensures how much braking force each wheel
requires, and then applies the same to achieve the most effective braking impact.
 In market vehicle, EBD usually comes with ABS. there are option that both comes with either
ESP (electronic stabilisation program) and TCS (traction control system). Some of the vehicle
comes with all the assist system and some has some of those combination.

 Layout:
1. Master cylinder
2. Tank
3. Vacuum servo brake
4. Hydraulic control unit with ABS
module
5. ABS pilot
6. Diagnosis connector
7. Wheel sensors
8. Brake Circuit 1
9. Brake Circuit 2
 EBD operation.
 The EBD no longer use braking pressure regulating valve and load dependent
compensating brake valve from the conventional brake. Typically most vehicles have
the front wheels carrying the maximum load, but in case of deceleration this braking
mechanism gives minimum pressure to the rear wheels and the vehicle doesn't
skidding.
 For Front Wheel Drive vehicle (FWD), ABS works together with the EBD to optimal
braking pressure on the rear wheels. When the brake is pressed, to prevent from
rear wheels to lose grip, the EBD system will transfer less braking pressure to the
rear axle. Example:
Front Braking Pressure Rear Braking Pressure
70% 30%

 When the vehicle get some loaded such as passenger and cargo, the EBD will
transmit more pressure to the rear wheels, this can be interpreted as putting the
rear braking force to be more effective and homogeneity on the brakes. Example:
Front Braking Pressure Rear Braking Pressure
70% 40%

 If the average slipping on the tire passes the critical value, the pressure is reduced on
the corresponding wheel brake by means of the outlet valve.
 The EBD is only effective on the rear unit brakes. The braking pressure of rear wheel
is constantly reduced by opening little by little the corresponding outlet solenoid
valves.
 The pump motor does not function during this process. If the wheel tend to lock for
example a sudden slippery road, the ABS also response for pressure reduction.
