Progressing Brake Systems Improving Brake Feel Response Through Linear Electromagnetic Driver Utilization

Abstract

This research focuses on improving the braking systems of vehicles by incorporating a brake feel feedback generation mechanism. The system includes a hydraulic brake unit, brake pedal, pedal travel sensor, control unit, and brake feel feedback generate unit. The pedal travel sensor captures movement state information when the brake pedal is pressed. The brake feel feedback generate unit utilizes a linear electromagnetic driver to generate resistance, mimicking the sensation of brake pedal operation, which is applied directly or indirectly to the pedal. The control unit generates drive signals for the linear electromagnetic driver based on the brake pedal's movement state information. This research aims to provide an effective and advantageous method of achieving brake feel feedback when braking is required.
