This paper deals with a study of electro-mechanical braking (EMB) system and the design basics of its control based Electronic Control Module (ECM). Electro-mechanical braking systems also referred to as brake by-wire, replace conventional hydraulic braking systems with a completely dry electrical component system. This occurs by replacing conventional actuators with electric motor-driven units. The braking force is generated directly at each wheel by high performance electric motors, they are controlled by an ECU and actuated by signals from an electronic pedal module. The EMB includes all brake and stability functions such as ABS, EBD, TCS, ESC, BA and ACC.
