 INTRODUCTION

• Development started in early 1980’s

• Achieved full development team strength in
early 1990’s
• Active field testing began mid-1990’s
• Production began in July, 1996
• EBS systems are now standard production
in Europe

time delay and superfluous energy

relatively low pressures and therefore big

the air.
 WHAT IS EBS?
EBS, or "brake-by-wire,"integrates anti-lock braking
system(ABS) technology,automatic traction control (ATC) and
other key Vehicle control system features to deliver the next
generation of braking control.

utilizes electronics for the control side of the vehicle's braking

system

. An electronic signal replaces the air signal sent by the brake

pedal to activate the brakes, improving stopping distances and
braking system performance
 EBS COMPONENTS
CENTRAL BRAKE UNIT(CBU)
Combines the functional groups
central ECU
brake signal transmitter
proportional relay valve
Provides the primary brake management function for front
axle, rear axle and trailer pressure control and evaluates the
sensor signals
Generates an electrical signal and pneumatic back-up pressure
from the driver’s pedal actuation; controls the required front-
axle brake pressure automatically
Communicates with other vehicle systems and diagnostic
interfaces

 Central module

 Braking system ECU

 Controls all essential brake management
functions for the front axle, the
rear axle and trailer pressure control,as well as
front axle ABS control
 Evaluates sensor signals and communicates as
well as the diagnostic interfaces
 Proportional relay valve

Performs front-axle braking pressure

control
Rear-axle modulator
Controls the rear-axle brake pressure
and actuates the electro-pneumatic
trailer control valve
Electro-pneumatic trailer control valve
Regulates trailer control pressure
 OPERATION
EBS consists of a single-circuit
electropneumatic section, supported by a dual
circuit,pneumatic section as a redundancy.
Depending on the pedal position, the brake
signal transmitter generates electrical
signals and pneumatic pressures. The
electrical signals are used to control the
electronic braking system. modulator.
The pneumatic signals are used in
redundancy case only and perform – to a
limited extent – the same functions. The
electrical signal is transmitted to the central
module. According to the vehicle’s
load situation, the system calculates the
appropriate pressures for the individual
brake cylinders, causing deceleration of
the vehicle. The determined values are
then sent to the proportional relay valve
and via the system’s data bus to the rearaxle
 BENEFITS OF EBS
 EBS improves braking comfort
 EBS increases vehicle safety
 EBS optimizes brake wear
 EBS makes maintenance easier
 Reduces the number of brake system components and air lines
 Enhanced diagnostics of the complete braking system
 Detects brake fade and notifies the driver if wear levels become
critical
 Provides more predictable braking control
 Shortened stopping distances
 Improved vehicle stability and driver control
 Brake "feel" like a passenger car

(ESC)
 OBJECTIVES

• Detect potential spin-out situations

• Assist driver in keeping intended course
during cornering maneuvers
• Stabilize vehicle when lateral traction limits
are exceeded
–Controls tractor and / or trailer brakes
– Speed reduction by engine and brake control
