The Brake control ECM uses different technologies to apply brake in a vehicle based on transmission speed, engine speed, terrain type and sometimes getting inputs from the safety system as well. Brakes are one of the most critical components of a car. Differenttechnology available to controls brakes,
Brake Assist (BA) is a technology that ensures that the maximum pressure is applied by the brakes to stop a vehicle in an emergency situation.
Autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is more advanced than brake assist, applying the brakes automatically without driver input if it deems that the car is deemed to be about to crash.
Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) is a form of electronic braking which was invented to help a driver control a vehicle under heavy braking by preventing the wheels from locking up.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a further evolution of electronic braking technology such as ABS and also uses other systems such as traction control. It is intended as a way of correcting situations in which a driver has made an error by stabilising the vehicle quickly so as not to make any dangerous situations worse. It will work in circumstances where steering is needed in order to turn the vehicle more effectively so as to provide a decreased risk of skid or loss of control.
