Sensotronic brake control
Recently, automotive industry pays more attention on the improvement
of the safety and comfort of their vehicle models. The new car model
of Mercedes- Benz SL 500 justifies this, by incorporating the new
technological innovations like Active body suspension (ABS),
Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Sensotronic brake control (SBC)
etc. Sensotronic brake control is an innovative electro hydraulic
brake system which gives maximum safety and comfort on braking.
This Seminar illustrates mechanism and performance
characteristic of Sensotronic brake control with the aid of the theory
and mechanism of a common hydraulic brake system. In SBC, various
factors while braking such as wheel speed, braking force for each
wheel, steering angle etc are senses by electronic means. With
electronic impulses are used to pass drivers braking commands onto a
micro computer, which processes various sensor signal simultaneously,
and depends on particular driving situation, calculates optimum
pressure for each wheel. As a result SBC offers even greater active
safety then conventional braking systems when braking in a corner and
slippery surface
