Abstract: The present application relates to a braking method and a braking system. The braking method of the present application may be performed by an electro-mechanical braking system including at least one axle control unit and a plurality of electro-mechanical braking devices provided at ends of wheels and driven by motors to apply friction braking forces to the wheels. The electro-mechanical braking devices are controlled by at least one axle control unit to switch between a state in which no friction braking is applied and a state in which friction braking is applied in response to a braking requirement. The braking method includes: setting a brake clearance between a brake pad and a brake disc to an initial value; determining whether there is a braking requirement; determining whether regenerative braking is performed; and in response to the performing of regenerative braking, setting the brake clearance to a preset value, wherein the preset value is smaller than the initial value.

Abstract: The present invention provides a control method for automatic holding, a vehicle's brake system and a brake control module thereof. The vehicle's brake system comprises two brake control modules and electromechanical brakes controlled by the brake control modules, a drive motor and a drive motor controller for controlling the drive motor. The control method comprises: after the vehicle transitions from moving to stationary, controlling the electromechanical brakes to continuously provide a brake torque, wherein the brake torque is a sum of the effective brake torque and a margin brake torque; and continuously outputting a drive-off signal to the drive motor controller to control the drive motor not to provide drive torque; until a driver requested drive torque is continuously increased to a critical torque which is close to the effective brake torque.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a braking technology of a vehicle, and in particular to a high fault tolerance brake system for a vehicle, a control method for the brake system, and a computer readable medium. The brake system comprises two control modules (211, 212) and an electric brake device (131; 132) provided on each wheel of the vehicle. Each of the electric brake devices (131; 132) may receive brake requests from the two control modules (211, 212) generated in response to a brake demand to brake or release a corresponding wheel. The brake system may further comprise a raw signal acquisition module (311) for acquiring a raw signal indicating the brake demand and directly transmitting the raw signal to at least one of the electric brake devices (131; 132) for verifying the brake requests. The present invention may improve fault tolerance of the vehicle brake system.

Abstract: This present disclosure provides a controlling method for an actuator (104), an actuator (104), and an electromechanical brake system of brake technology. The controlling method comprises: receiving a brake demand; controlling an electric motor (108) based on the brake demand; if the brake demand satisfies a preset stationary condition within a preset period, controlling a brake force holding device (108) to lock a shaft. In this way, frequent variations of the brake demand caused by interference from ambient disturbance or the driver's unsteady brake instructions may be prevented so that the actuator can be locked timely, thereby maintaining a continuous brake torque output with low power consumption or zero power consumption to provide a continuous brake force to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for determining the yaw tendency of a vehicle is hereby presented.
