Abstract: An electric braking device for a vehicle. The device includes: front wheel and/or rear wheel braking modules that are not powered when the vehicle is in a standby state; at least one on-board computer; at least one user control module which, upon a user's request, delivers a power supply control signal to control the power supply to the braking modules and braking control signals to activate the braking modules when the modules are powered; and a mechanism for cutting the power supply to the braking modules once the vehicle has zero speed and the wheels are immobilized under action of the braking modules. The device can reduce the power consumption of vehicles.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electric braking device for a vehicle. The inventive device comprises: front wheel (4a, 4b) and/or rear wheel (4c, 4d) braking modules which are not powered when the vehicle is in the standby state; at least one on-board computer (1); at least one user control module (2, 3) which, upon the users request, delivers a power supply control signal (Sc1, Sc2) in order to control the power supply to the braking modules and braking control signals (S2a, S2b; S3a, S3b) in order to activate the braking modules when said modules are powered; and means for cutting the power supply to the braking modules once the vehicle has zero speed and the wheels are immobilised under the action of the braking modules. The invention can be used to reduce the power consumption of vehicles. The invention relates to an electric braking device for a vehicle.
