11. REFRENCES
 Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an electro-
hydraulic brake system
 SBC allows high pressure and dynamic brake
pressure individual control for each wheel
 Mercedes-Benz first introduced the Sensotronic
Brake Control (SBC)system on their SL-Class
sports car.
 Unlike conventional braking system SBC dispense
with mechanical hydraulic coupling with pedal and
brake.
 Superb directional stability and optimally assured brake
distance are the result of SBC.
 SBC allows precise braking and increased vehicle
stability.
1. Brake pedal
 Mechanical components are replaced by
electronics
 Electronics Sensors gauge the pressure inside the
master brake cylinder as well as the speed with
which the brake pedal is operated, and pass these
data to the SBC computer in the form of electric
impulses.
2. Control unit
 The central control unit is the centre piece of the electro-
hydraulic brake.
 Pressure modulators for each wheel
 Faster and more precisely
 The microcomputer, software, sensors, valves and
electric pump work together and allow totally novel,
highly dynamic brake management.
 In addition, the SBC computer also receives the sensor
signals from the other electronic assistance systems
 Microcomputer:- Calculates the braking force for each
wheel individually.
 High Pressure Accumulator:- It contains the brake
fluid which flows into the system .
 Hydraulic Unit:- They meter the brake pressure
according to requirements and pass it to the brakes.
 Wheel Speed Sensor:- Generating signals
representative of the wheel-speed.
 Emergency braking- Recognizes the driver’s rapid
movement from the accelerator onto the brake pedal .
 Driving stability- It stops the car from turning aside
suddenly.
 Comfort- Provides comfort particularly during sharp
deceleration or when the anti-lock braking system is
operational.
 Braking in corners- SBC offers the possibility of
assigning brake forces in a way appropriate to the
situation.
 The Soft-Stop function of the SBC software
 On a wet road surface the system meets out short brake
impulses at regular intervals
 On hills or steep drives the Sensotronic Brake Control
Drive-Away Assist prevents the car from rolling
backwards or forwards
 Fastbuild up of brake pressure.
 Optimum brake power distribution
 No pedal vibration during ABS operation.
 Skidding in corners is avoided.
 Stopping distance is reduced by up to 3%.
 COST: Increases due to electronic components.
 ASSEMBLING: Slight complex assembling.
 DIFFICULT FOR MAINTENANCE: Prone to
environment conditions.
 Opens up new and promising opportunities in the
disciplines of safety and comfort.
 Automatically guide the cars of the future along
the roads with the aid of video cameras, proximity
radar and advanced telematics.
 Computer-controlled brake system which
automatically acts on the instructions of an
electronic autopilot and stops the car safely.
 SBC system may take the place of a conventional
brake system in the future.
 One of the most important disadvantage that is its
higher cost due to the electronic components will
get reduced after the adaptation of this system by
all automobile companies.
 Also the maintenance of the electronic component
will be easy when we shall get familiar with this
system.
