Electromechanical Brake(EMB)시스템은 유압 대신 전동식 액츄에이터를 이용하여 제동력을 발생시키는 브레이크 장치인 Brake-by-Wire(BBW) 시스템의 구성요소 이다. EMB 시스템은 기존 유압식 브레이크 시스템과 비교하여 친환경적이며, 설계의 자유도가 높고, 제동 응답성 및 제어 성능이 뛰어난 장점을 가진다. 하지만 전자 전기적으로 시스템 구성이 복잡해 짐에 따라 고장에 대한 안정성 부문이 설계시 충분히 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 차량 EMB 시스템 설계시 신뢰성을 향상을 위해 고려해야 설계 방안에 대해서 기술한다. 크게 시스템, 센서, 모터 분야에 대해 고장 요소 및 대처 방안 설계에 대해 개괄적으로 소개한다.

Nowadays, various researches about eco-friendly vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicle, fuel cell vehicle and electric vehicle have been actively carried out. Since most of these green cars have electric motors, the regenerative energy technology can be used to improve the fuel economy and the energy efficiency of vehicles. The regenerative brake is an energy recovery mechanism which slows a vehicle by converting its kinetic energy into electric energy, which can be either used immediately or stored until needed. This technology plays a significant role in achieving the high energy usage. However, there are some technical problems for controlling the regenerative braking and the electro-hydraulic brake during switching at transient region. In this paper, the performance simulator for fuel-cell vehicle is developed and transient response characteristics of the regenerative braking system are analyzed in the various driving situations. And the hardware-in-the-loop simulation of electro-hydraulic brake is performed to validate the transient characteristics of the regenerative braking system for fuel-cell electric vehicle.

Recently, wheel slip controllers with controlling the wheel slip directly has been studied using the brake-by-wire actuator. The wheel slip controller is able to control the braking force more accurately and can be adapted to various different vehicles more easily than the conventional ABS systems. The wheel slip controller requires the information about the tire braking force and road condition in order to achieve the control performance. In this paper, the tire braking forces are estimated considering the variation of the friction between brake pad and disk due to aging of the brake, moisture on the contact area or heating. In addition, the road friction coefficient is estimated without using tire models. The estimated performance of tire braking forces and the road friction coefficient is evaluated in simulations.

The electric braking system obtains its braking force by a motor instead of the hydraulic brake which has been used in conventional automobile systems. Electric braking system is consisted of fewer numbers of components than hydraulic braking system, and it has effects of improved response and reduced braking distance for the ABS(Anti-lock Brake System) and ESC(Electronic Stability Control). This paper presents the BLAC motor drive system for Electro-Magnetic Brake(EMB). Proposed control system consists of the power converter for driving a motor and the digital control system for speed control, and the vector control is applied for fast torque response. It is verified through the simulation using Matlab/Simulink and experiment that the proposed BLAC drive system can be applied to EMB.
