These are important targets for the automotive industry, but for OEMs & brake manufacturers, the pressure is on. They face the pressing challenge of reducing brake particle emissions before the new rules come into play. In this report, we will explore the strategies being put in place to reduce brake particle emissions, as well as the innovative solutions making the industry more sustainable.

In this exclusive interview, Automotive IQ learns more on brake-by-wire technology from Toni Frenzel, the Project Director for New Braking Systems at Bosch. As we navigate the shifting landscape of automotive innovation, Toni provides valuable insights into the adoption curve, benefits, challenges, and safety considerations surrounding brake-by-wire systems. With a wealth of expertise in this field, Toni sheds light on the technical intricacies and regulatory aspects that are shaping the future of braking technology.

This Interview Focuses on:

• What’s driving the transition to brake-by-wire
• Brake-by-wire safety
• Developments in brake-by-wire system architecture
  

Steering and braking technology in the automotive industry continues to be primarily led by steer-by-wire and brake-by-wire systems. To shed light on these advancements, Automotive IQ conducted a series of insightful interviews with industry experts representing prominent organisations such as Continental, General Motors, thyssenkrupp Presta AG, and Nexteer. These four exclusive interviews have been compiled into a comprehensive technical guide.

Furthermore, Automotive IQ has a history of hosting successful Advanced Steering and Braking conferences in both Europe and the USA. We are thrilled to announce that both conferences will return this November, taking place at the H4 Hotel München Messe in Munich from the 14th to the 16th of November 2023.

Braking Systems for Autonomous Electrical Vehicles - Vehicle Features Driven System Design

This presentation is by Alessandro Travagliati, Principal Engineer - Braking System at Volvo Cars and was shown at the Automotive Braking Systems Europe 2022 conference. The slides cover the following areas of braking: 

• Shifting market and Volvo mega trends
• Functional architecture design in the era of central computing units
• Base vehicle powertrain / braking system architecture
• Under-braking requirements
• Over-braking requirements
• Influence of additional longitudinal actuator
• Steer-by-braking

Alessandro Travagliati will be presenting again this year at the 15th Automotive Braking Systems Europe 2023 conference.
