This document summarizes a technical seminar presentation about electronic brake force distribution (EBFD). It begins with an introduction that defines EBFD and how it works with anti-lock braking systems to vary brake pressure to each wheel. It then discusses the components of an EBFD system, including speed sensors, brake force modulators, and an electronic control unit. The document outlines benefits of EBFD such as improving stability during heavy braking or swerving. It also addresses limitations, costs, and prevalence of EBFD in modern vehicles. In conclusion, it states that EBFD can help braking but drivers must still react safely to hazards.

INTRODUCTION
• Electronic brake force distribution (EBD or EBFD) or electronic brake force
limitation (EBL) is an automobile brake technology that automatically varies
the amount of force applied to each of a vehicle's brakes, based on road
conditions, speed, loading, etc. Always coupled with anti-lock braking
systems, EBD can apply more or less braking pressure to each wheel in order
to maximize stopping power whilst maintaining vehicular control.

• Under heavy braking, vehicle wheels may lock-up due to excessiveness of
wheel torques over tire-road friction forces available, caused by too much
hydraulic line pressure. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) monitors wheel
speeds and releases pressure on individual wheel brake lines, rapidly pulsing
individual brakes to prevent lock-up. During heavy braking, preventing wheel
lock-up helps the driver maintain steering control. Modern ABS has an
individual brake line for each of the four wheels, enabling different braking
pressure on different road surfaces.

HOW EBD WORKS?
• EBD reduces the strain on the hydraulic brake force proportioning
valve in the vehicle. EBD optimizes the brake design with regard to:
adhesion utilization; driving stability; wear; temperature stress; and
pedal force."
• EBD may work in conjunction with ABS and Electronic Stability
Control ("ESC") to minimize your accelerations during turns. ESC
compares the steering wheel angle to vehicle turning rate using a
yaw rate sensor. "Yaw" is the vehicle's rotation around its vertical
centre of gravity (turning left or right).

ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION
COMPONENTS
– SPEED SENSORS-To determine the slip ratio of a wheel, the EBD system needs two pieces of
information: the speed at which the wheel is rotating and the speed of the car.
– Brake force modulators: Brake force is applied to the wheels hydraulically, with brake fluid
pumped into brake lines in such a way as to pneumatically activate the brake cylinders.
– Electronic Control Unit (ECU): The ECU is a small computer embedded in the antilock braking
system. It receives input from the speed sensors, calculates the slip ratio of the wheels, and
uses the brake force modulators to apply an appropriate amount of force to keep the slip
ratio of each wheel within a reasonable range.

Benefits of Electronic Brake Force Distribution
• It can deduce the car from the slip ratio of the wheels and compensate
accordingly in icy or watery roads.
• When a truck with heavy loads apply brakes the system becomes aware of it
through its effect on the slip ratio of the tires.
• In a speedy car when you apply brakes it desperation you turn the steering
wheel to one side to go around the stopped car, even while you're still
pressing down on the brake.

When would EBFD be useful?
• While braking, one wheel goes over a pothole in the road, destabilizing the
vehicle and making braking less efficient.
• One of your wheels is on ice, making it more likely that it will lock and cause
your car to spin out.
• An animal comes out onto the road and you need to brake and swerve.
• Another motorist does not notice you when making a lane change, and you
are forced to brake hard

.
Is EBFD effective?
• Heavy braking will be more comfortable: since braking is more effective with
EBFD, your vehicle will stop faster.
• Enhanced overall vehicle safety: EBFD will help reduce your risk of fishtailing,
spinning, over steering, and understeering.
• Improved braking predictability and by automatically adjusting brake-force to
its optimal distribution, EBFD can help reduce the effects of these factors and
make braking more predictable.

Are there any limitations with EBFD?
• Yes. As with most vehicle safety systems, realizing the benefits of EBFD
depends on whether drivers understand its design limits and primary
function, and can interact appropriately with it.
– EBFD cannot warn you of impending collisions or of bad road conditions, so it is up
to you to assess road conditions and notice any potential hazards.
To overcome from this problem.
A new technique was taught as a method to prevent wheels from locking,
modern ABS with EBFD systems work by pumping the brake automatically for
you.

Is EBFD useful in all situations or not?
• Most EBFD systems can be disabled by either manually
disconnecting a fuse or depressurizing the brakes from within
the vehicle.
– First, since it is unlikely that EBFD will ever make a situation less safe,
there are virtually no advantages to be gained from turning it off.
– Second, since most EBFD systems are paired with ABS you should never
disable one without disabling the other. This is important since ABS
setups that include EBFD anticipate the activation of EBFD when it is
necessary

How prevalent is EBFD in today’s vehicles?
• Electronic brake-force distribution began being installed with ABS
systems in the mid-2000s. Most modern ABS systems now
include EBFD and ESC as a standard or optional add-on. In the
model year 2010, 89% of cars and 99% of new light trucks had
ABS installed; however there are no data on how many of these
ABS systems included EBFD.

How much does EBFD cost?
• EBFD is a standard part of modern ABS setups. Therefore,
equipping a vehicle with EBFD costs the same as installing ABS:
approximately $240.00 in the factory. In addition, installing EBFD
on a vehicle has virtually no impact on overall fuel efficiency.

Conclusion
• EBFD can help make braking on poor road conditions as safe as possible, but
this does not mean that it’s completely safe. There are still many dangers
associated with driving in bad weather conditions, including low visibility and
less overall traction. Whether or not EBFD helps also depends on how quickly
you react to a potential hazard and how safely you can steer to avoid it. Given
both of these limiting factors, you are always encouraged to use vehicle safety
features like EBFD to complement your responsible driving practices, and not
as a reason for driving less attentively or less cautiously.
