What does EBA mean on a car?
1 Answers
EBA on a car stands for Emergency Brake Assist system. During emergency braking, the sensor on the brake pedal detects the action and sends a signal to the vehicle's computer, which then rapidly generates braking force to shorten the braking distance. EBA can sense the driver's demand on the brake pedal and is designed for situations where the driver cannot press the brake pedal quickly enough in emergencies. When the sensor detects braking action from the pedal, it determines the driver's intention for that particular brake application. Under normal braking conditions, EBA will not intervene after assessment. However, when EBA detects that the driver is pressing the brake pedal rapidly and forcefully, the computer analyzes and determines if it's an unexpected emergency. It then reacts and calculates the emergency level extremely quickly, automatically providing greater pressure to the pedal to enhance braking effectiveness.
