A Seminar On: Sensotronic Brake Control

Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an innovative electronically controlled braking system developed by Robert Bosch GmbH that is faster and more precise than conventional braking systems. SBC uses electric impulses and a high pressure reservoir with electronically controlled valves to provide maximum brake pressure more quickly. It features additional functions like traffic jam assist and softer braking. SBC components include a microcomputer, high pressure accumulator, hydraulic unit, and wheel speed sensors. The system provides improved stability, emergency braking, and comfort compared to conventional brakes. While more expensive due to electronic components, SBC is expected to replace conventional brakes as costs decrease and the technology becomes more widely adopted.

SENSOTRONIC
BRAKE
CONTROL
SUBMITTED BY:
VED PRAKASH
What is sensotronic brake
control?
• Sensotronic Brake Control is an innovative electronically
controlled brake system that is faster and more precise than
the conventional braking system.

• Complete interaction of mechanics and electronics, known as


“MECHATRONICS”.

• The brake booster will not be needed in future either.


HISTORY OF SBC
 Robert Bosch GmbH has played a role in many
innovations. These include the first electronically
controlled antilock braking system (ABS) in 1978, the
traction control system (TCS) in 1987, and mass
production of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) in
1995.The company also helped Mercedes-Benz
develop the most technologically advanced system in
production—the electrohydraulic brake (EHB) also
known as Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC).
CONVENTIONAL BRAKING
SYSTEM
 Uses piston rod which is linked to the brake booster and the
master brake cylinder.

 Depending on the pedal force, the master brake cylinder builds


up the appropriate amount of pressure in the brake lines.

 Then presses the brake pads against the brake discs via the
wheel cylinders.
Sensotronic brake control
 In SBC, electric impulses are used .

 A high pressure reservoir and electronically controllable


valves ensure that maximum brake pressure is available
much sooner.

 Offers innovative additional functions :

 Traffic Jam Assist(using cruise control stalk)


 The Soft-Stop(By higher-precision pressure control)
WHY SENSOTONIC BRAKE

• Brake pedal: Electronics instead of a


vacuum

• Control unit: Pressure modulators for


each wheel

• Faster and more precisely


Conventional Braking SBC Braking
SBC COMPONENTS
• Microcomputer:- This system calculates the braking
force for each wheel individually.

• High Pressure Accumulator:- High-pressure


accumulator contains the brake fluid which flows into the
system .

• Hydraulic Unit:- They meter the brake pressure according


to requirements and pass it to the brakes.

• Wheel Speed Sensor:- Generating signals representative


of the wheel-speed.
SBC COMPONENTS
Features of SBC
•EMERGENCY BRAKING- Recognizes the driver’s rapid
movement from the accelerator onto the brake pedal

•DRIVING STABILITY- It stops the car from turning aside


suddenly

• COMFORT- Provides comfort particularly during sharp


deceleration or when the anti-lock braking system is operational

• BRAKING IN CORNERS- SBC offers the possibility of


assigning brake forces in a way appropriate to the situation
ELECTRONIC SENSORS USED IN
SBC
 PEDAL TRAVEL SENSOR (Situated at brake pedal)

 STEERING ANGLE SENSOR (Situated at steering)

 WHEEL SPEED SENSOR (Situated at every wheel)

 HYDRAULIC UNIT SENSOR (Situated at front wheel)


SENSORS PLACED IN CAR BODY
SBC: MAIN COMPONENTS AND
FUNCTIONS
• Anti-lock braking system: It is a safety system which
prevents the wheels on a motor vehicle from locking up
while braking.

• Electronic stability control: It is a computerized


technology that improves the safety of a vehicle's stability
by detecting and minimizing skids.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
• Offers improved vehicle control and decreases stopping
distances on dry and especially slippery surfaces.

• applies individual brake pressure to all four wheels through a


control system.

• Wheel speed sensors monitor each wheel speed

• If a fault develops in any part of the ABS, a warning light will


usually be illuminated on the vehicle instrument panel
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
CONTROL [ESC]
• Improves the safety of a vehicle's stability by detecting and
minimizing skids.

• When ESC detects loss of steering control, it automatically


applies the brakes.

• ESC does not improve a vehicle's cornering performance.

• ESC can work on any surface, from dry pavement to frozen


lakes.
ESC
THE CONCEPT FOR THE
PRESSURE SENSOR
• Silicon micro machined piezo-resistive pressure sensor
chip is used.

• They have two different sensitivities.

• A higher one in a low-pressure range (0 to 30 bar).

•A lower one at higher pressures (up to 250 bar).


SBC: ADD-ON FUNCTIONS

• Drive-Away Assist: Prevents the car from rolling backwards or


forwards on hill or steep drives.

• Traffic Jam Assist function: In traffic drivers only need to use


the accelerator pedal.

• Dry-braking: Activated when the car’s windscreen wipers are


running.

• Soft-Stop: Ensures particularly gentle and smooth stopping.


FUTURE SCOPE
• Automatically guide the cars of the future along the
roads.

•Future along the roads with the aid of video cameras,


radar, advance telematics.

•Use of Electronic-Autopilot mode in emergency


braking.
MERITS
• It raise braking comfort.

• Reduces the time for application of


brakes.

• Provides stability control.

• Provides soft and smooth stop during


normal braking.
DEMERITS OF SBC

 COST: Increases due to electronic


components.

 ASSEMBLING: Slight complex assembling.

 DIFFICULT FOR MAINTENANCE: Prone to


environment conditions.
CONCLUSION
With reference to the advantages and dis-
advantages it is concluded that the SBC
system may take the place of a conventional
brake system in the future.
One of the most important dis-
advantage that is its higher cost due to the
electronic components will get reduced after
the adaptation of this system by all automobile
companies. Also the maintenance of the
electronic component will be easy when we
shall get familiar with this system.
