Recently, researches about the eco-friendly vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicle, fuel cell vehicle and electric vehicle have been actively carried out. The regenerative braking system is a key technology to improve the vehicle energy utilization efficiency because it transforms the kinetic energy to the electric energy through the electric motor. This new braking system requires cooperative control between electric controlled brake and regenerative brake. Therefore, it is necessary to establish fault-diagnosis and fail-safe evaluation criteria to secure reliability of the regenerative braking system. In this paper, the failure types and causes in regenerative braking system were analyzed. The transient behavior characteristics were examined based on fault-diagnosis and fail-safe upon failure of regenerative braking system.

Although there has been substantial research on the squeal noise for the automotive brake system, robust design issues with respect to control factors equivalent to design variables in optimization, noise factors due to system uncertainties, and signal factors designed to accommodate a user-adjustable setting still need to be addressed. For the purpose, the robust design applied to the disk brake system has been investigated by DOE (Design of Experiments) based Taguchi analysis with dynamic characteristics. The specific goal of this methodology is to identify a design with linear signal-response relationship, and variability minimization. The finite element models of the disk brake assembly have been constructed, and the squeal noise problems have been solved by complex eigenvalue analysis. As the practical robust design to reduce the brake squeal noise, material properties of pad, disk, and backplate, thickness and geometry of pad are selected as control factors, material properties of pad and disk, and the contact stiffness have been considered as noise factors, and friction coefficient between pad and disk is chosen as a signal factor. Through the DOE based robust design, the signal-to-noise ratio and the sensitivity for each orthogonal array experiment have been analyzed. Also, it has been proved that the proposed robust design is effective and adequate to reduce the brake squeal noise.

The research of network system, being used to reduce automotive wiring harness, is reaching to the development of by-wire system. It is by-wire system that apply IVN(In-Vehicle-Network) to steering, braking system, and it has the advantage of mass-decreasing, easy to diagnose fault and so on. But until now, many developed device can't satisfied with reliability that system have ever had. So redundancy of each network module, i.e., It is only way to make backup module. This paper researches development of network module and redundancy management of backup module when error occurred for implementation of brake-by-wire system.

Recently, the automotive industry has been developing rapidly. With the progress parts of the automobile components need high quality and the reliability. Among them, braking unit is essential device, and acquire the reliability through the performance test of brake.

This paper proposes a design method for a 3-phase interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) and clamping force control method for an electro-mechanical brake (EMB) using co-simulation for a high-speed train (HST). A traditional pneumatic brake system needs much space for the compressor, brake reservoir, and air pipe. However, an EMB system uses up to 50% less space due to the use of a motor and electric wires for controlling the brake caliper. In addition, it can reduce the latency time for brake control because of the fast response and precise control. A train that has many brakes is advantageous for safety because of the control by sharing the braking force. In this paper, a driving method for a cam-shaft-type EMB is modeled. It is different from the ball-screw-type brakes that are widely used in automobiles. In addition, a co-simulation method is proposed using JMAG and Matlab/Simulink. The IPMSM was designed and analyzed with the JMAG tool, and the control system was simulated using Matlab/Simulink. The effectiveness of the co-simulation results of the mechanical clamping force and braking force was verified by comparison with the clamping force specifications of a HEMU-430X HST.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a new type of a force reflective joystick. It has single degree of freedom that is actuated by motor and brake pair. The use of motor and brake allows various objects to be simulated without the stability problem and related safety issues involved with high torque motors only. The joystick performance is measured by its ability to simulate various test objects. Simple test objects are modeled as a benchmark test of the system´s performance and to evaluate different control approaches for hybrid motor/brake actuator. The force output joystick is capable of simulating forces in a variety of virtual environments. This device demonstrates the effectiveness of a hybrid motor/brake haptic actuator.

In this paper, we present a mathematical model of the piezoelectric pump and its application to the automobile brake system. The piezoelectric pump consists of a multi-layered piezoelectric element a diaphragm, pumping values, resonant pipes and accumulators, and the maximum pumping power of 62W nab obtained in the previous experiments by using the piezoelectric element of 22mm diameter and 55.5mm length. A detailed mathematical model of the pump is derived here by considering the compressibility of the working oil, nonlinear characteristics of piezoelectric element, the time delay of pumping values' action and be on. The validity of the model is illustrated by comparing the experimental data and the simulation results. Using the mathematical model of the piezoelectric pump, a brake system for automobile disk brake is also simulated in this paper. The brake system consists of a piezoelectric pump as a power source, calipers and its piston to generate brake force, and a three position solenoid value to change the brake situation. It is shown that 15mm/sec of piston speed and 20kN of piston force are obtained by using the piezoelectric element of 33mm diameter and 55.5mm length.

This study proposed a fault tolerant control algorithm for electro-hydraulic brake systems where permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive is adopted to boost the braking pressure. To cope with motor position sensor faults in the PMSM drive, a braking pressure controller based on an open-loop speed control method for the PMSM was proposed. The magnitude of the current vector was determined from the target braking pressure, and motor rotational speed was derived from the pressure control error to build up the braking pressure. The position offset of the pump piston resulting from a leak in the hydraulic system is also compensated for using the open-loop speed control by moving the piston backward until it is blocked at the end of stroke position. The performance and stability of the proposed controller were experimentally verified. According to the results, the control algorithm can be utilized as an effective means of degraded control for electro-hydraulic brake systems in the case that a motor position sensor fault occurs.
