Emergency braking requires a good slip ratio control algorithm to guarantee the brake stability. It is well known that the X-by-wire technologies have considerable advantages over the traditional hydraulic system, especially, bringing great strengths to complex control systems. As one of the brake-by-wire systems, EPB has been used as an advanced parking system in some luxury cars. However, it still has some untapped potential, e.g., dynamic braking. The paper proposes a sliding mode control (SMC) algorithm to effectively control the dc motor in EPB system to attenuate the torque tracking error. Simulation results from a quarter vehicle model with EPB actuator as a spare dynamic braking system show that the Copyright © 2015 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. B. Wang et al. proposed control architecture with three sliding surfaces can effectively improve the emergency braking performance in the typical simulation manoeuvres employed and significantly reduce the tracking errors.
