Electric Parking Brake(EPB) is the system operated by electric control actuator. It differs from the mechanical parking brake system which is operated by lever and pedal in need of human power. The EPB system is composed of DC motor, helical and differential epicyclic gear, screw, cables, and sensor. This paper describes about the EPB system mathematically and constructs a modeling of the EPB system using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Especially, SimMechanics library in SIMULINK is used to make each parts of system a module. By made modeling of the friction torque between bolt and nut. Cable tension can be maintained after the motor operating stops.

In this study, an effective estimation method of wheel acceleration is presented. The wheel acceleration is mainly used in the ABS(anti-lick brake system) and the TCS(traction control system). The wheel acceleration is a derivative term of the wheel speed which is generally measured by the wheel speed sensors. The results of a simple differentiation of the signal and an observation of the signal by Kalman filter show that Kalman filter has better performance than the simple differentiation. The differentiated sine signal which is contaminated with random noise shows a rugged signal compared with the signal which is filtered by the Kalman filter. The covariance of the differentiated signal is higher than that of the Kalman-filtered signal, too. The presented Kalman filter technique shows an effective way of solution to get the estimated wheel acceleration value which is sufficient to be applied to ABS or TCS control algorithms.

The paper describes the development of the ABS(Anti-Lock Bracke Sytem) real-time simulator which is composed of the real hydraulic modulator, the brake system, and the control software. This useful too supports the development enviornment of the ABS in great flexible mamer. It offers an efficient and cost-effective method of ABS development which includes the various realistic road conditons, the vehicle characteristics , and the brake characteristics. The performance of the ABS is compared with the normal braking results. Thepresented experimental results are braking on the high friction road, thetransient friction road(high to low , low to high), the split friction road, and the high friction road with steer angle. The paper shows the effectiveness and the safety of the ABS compared with the normal brake system , and the powerful and conventient tool in developing the ABS.
