  • Electromechanical deceleration system and method for operating the same
    Patent number: 8433491
    Abstract: A deceleration system may be used for decreasing a speed of a vehicle having a plurality of wheels. The deceleration system may include a brake command receiving device configured to receive a brake command for decelerating the vehicle, a brake command sensor configured to determine a brake magnitude and a brake rate based on the brake command, a control device configured to generate a plurality of electronic brake signals based on the brake magnitude and the brake rate, and a plurality of braking devices, each of which is configured to receive one of the plurality of electronic brake signals, convert the respective electronic brake signal to a mechanical brake force, and impart the mechanical brake force to at least one of a rotor or a drum of the respective wheel, thereby causing a deceleration of the vehicle.
