CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ELECTRO-MECHANICAL BRAKE SYSTEM VEHICLE

摘要

Disclosed herein is a control system and method for an EMB vehicle. In particular, an engine control unit (ECU) of the EMB is automatically initialized before a brake pedal signal is generated, by detecting a driver's intention to drive the vehicle and continuing to brake in a normal state when a failure of the EMB is allowed while a vehicle drives.

1. A control method of controlling a plurality of electro-mechanical brake system (EMB)s vehicle, the control method comprising:
detecting and determining, by a controller, a driver's intention to drive the vehicle; in response to determining that the driver is intending on driving the vehicle, starting, by the controller, initialization of at least one of the plurality of EMBs; determining, by the controller, whether the at least one EMB is operable based upon whether a signal from the EMB has been received at the controller; in response to determining that the at least one EMB is operable, determining whether a failure has occurred in an EMB engine control unit (ECU) of that EMB; and in response to determining that a failure has occurred, determining whether the vehicle is stopped or being driven, and when the vehicle is being driven, performing normal braking by using a different EMB that has not failed.
