Automotive electronic braking system industry


Advancements in vehicle braking systems are primarily being shaped by the industry megatrends of electrification and autonomy. ZF is a world leader in braking systems for both light and commercial vehicles following the acquisition of WABCO last year – for the purposes of this discussion we will concentrate more on the light vehicle market but ZF is now a major player for larger trucks globally for both the base air and hydraulic braking systems and foundation brakes where we see drum brakes being replaced by air disc brakes at a rate of more than 5 percent per year in selected markets. ZF also has an outstanding offering of electronic braking systems supporting applications like automatic emergency braking with our OnGuard suite of collision mitigation products.

On the light vehicle side, the drivers of technology are similar and ZF is at the forefront of developments. Future braking systems must be powertrain independent as they can no longer rely on the vacuum supplied by internal combustion engines and must work with traditional, hybrid or electric powertrain configurations. They must also generate brake pressure very quickly, which is driven by more stringent NCAP Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) testing protocols for crossing bicycles – and soon powered two-wheelers. Future brake systems must also be adaptable for ADAS and semi-automated to fully autonomous driving capability.

In terms of brake controls, what is ZF offering and what trends are you seeing in the marketplace?

ZF’s Integrated Brake Control (IBC) system is a highly scalable solution and designed to deliver on the megatrend requirements described above. It combines brake actuation and ESC functionality in one unit, has a very fast-acting brushless motor that is powertrain independent and generates brake pressure up to three times faster than previous generation Electronic Stability Control systems. This is ideal for the very fast brake pressure applies that can translate into an up to one G of vehicle deceleration in less than 150 milliseconds for significantly reduced stopping distances. This is highly valuable particularly in crowded urban environments where reaction times are compressed for stopping and provides the best solution to avoid or mitigate accidents with vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and people suddenly crossing roads.

ZF also recently launched its Electronic Brake Boost system (EBB) on Volkswagen’s new electric vehicle generation platform for ID.3 and ID.4 models – it has similar performance characteristics to IBC and is added to an existing ESC to bring additional dynamic performance and reaction times. Both IBC and EBB contribute significantly to C02 reduction through high energy recuperation and enabling automated and autonomous driving capability with redundant control.

Artificial Intelligence for Road Safety

Image
  Telematics for fleets and insurance started with essential questions concerning: geolocation of vehicles fuel level monitoring the number of kilometers on the dashboard These solutions are now fully operational. We then saw applications while driving: eco-driving tips to save fuel navigation, to save travel time or km Again, these elements are currently being deployed. Similarly, eco-driving assistance applications are being deployed to try to reduce the cost of energy-related operations. But the artificial intelligence that can be embedded in telematics systems (device, smartphone) can provide many other services. In particular, it is possible to significantly reduce the number of road accidents, thereby reducing operating costs. COST OF ROAD ACCIDENTS Road accidents cost fleets dearly: repair costs, if the fleet is self-insured, insurance costs otherwise cost of the immobilization period of the damaged vehicle cost of non-working time of injured personnel cost of late delivery ...

Importance of traffic signal rules

Image
    Adhering to traffic rules and traffic signals is crucial for maintaining road safety and preventing accidents. These road rules and signs are the foundations for smooth movement of vehicles and an efficient network of roads.    Accident prevention:  By following the road safety rules, road users can avoid collisions and injuries. Traffic signals play a crucial role in preventing accidents by regulating the flow of vehicles and ensuring that drivers and pedestrians regulate their movement on the road.  Traffic congestion mitigation:  Well-timed and efficient traffic signals help to reduce traffic congestion by coordinating the movement of vehicles and preventing bottlenecks. This improves traffic flow, reduces travel times, and saves fuel. Pedestrian safety:  Traffic signs and signals provide clear instructions and warnings to pedestrians, allowing them to safely cross the road at designated times. This reduces the risk of pedestrian accidents....

Biodiesel vs. Diesel Fuel

Image
  There are significant differences in environmental impact when comparing biodiesel and diesel’s life cycle emissions. While both fuels produce similar amounts of carbon dioxide during combustion, biodiesel’s carbon dioxide emission is partially offset by the growth of plants like soybeans and other feedstock used to make biodiesel fuel. This leads to a notable decrease in net carbon dioxide emissions over its life cycle. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that pure biodiesel emissions are  reduced by 74% compared to diesel . Meanwhile, a B20 blend  reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 15% . The difference between diesel and biodiesel is also apparent when observing other emission pollutants. Research  published by the Institute of Physics  (IOP) revealed the following results: Carbon monoxide:  Pure biodiesel produces significantly lower carbon monoxide emissions than regular diesel. Hydrocarbon:  Diesel generates higher hydrocarbon emissions ...
