EBS

Introduction
The growing competitive pressure in the
transportation trade is the reason that the
requirements on the brake system also increase
steadily. The introduction of the electronically
controlled braking system EBS is the logical step to
meet this and other requirements.

Benefits of EBS
- It enhances vehicle and road safely by means of
reducing the stopping distance, achieving improved
braking stability and monitoring the brake system.
- It spares the brake pads and offers wheel brakes
the possibility of a durably optimal coordination of
the braking powers between the single one as well as
between towing machine and trailer.
- The full diagnosis and surveillance functions of the
EBS as well as the display of brake lining wear offer
an effective fleet logistics.
- In addition, EBS considerably improves both
economic efficiency and driving comfort.

Functions of EBS:
ABS:
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an automobile
safety system that allows the wheels on a motor
vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road
surface according to driver inputs while braking,
preventing the wheels from locking up (ceasing
rotation) and avoiding uncontrolled skidding.

EBA: Emergency brake assist (EBA) or Brake

Assist (BA or BAS) is a generic term for
an automobile braking technology that increases braking
pressure in an emergency situation.
EBA is designed to detect such "panic stops" and
apply maximum braking effort within milliseconds. It
interprets braking behaviour by assessing the rate
that the brake pedal is activated.

Electronic stability control

Electronic stability control (ESC), also referred to
as electronic stability program (ESP) or dynamic
stability control (DSC), is a computerized
technology [1][2] that improves a vehicle's stability by
detecting and reducing loss of traction
(skidding). When ESC detects loss of steering control,
it automatically applies the brakes to help "steer" the

vehicle where the driver intends to go. Braking is

automatically applied to wheels individually.
