A new intelligent braking system for motor vehicles is described. A mechatronic approach helped to avoid some of the drawbacks found in conventional systems. The brake was designed according to the so-called full contact disc brake principle, which means that the classic pads are replaced by the whole discs and that - for maximum performance - the brake is controlled continuously and not cyclically as with classical ABS (Antilock Braking System) systems. This required a complete re-design of the regulation chain, the actuators and sensors. Indeed, to provide a better control, the regulator uses feedback information not only from slip, but also from the braking torque.
