What does EBD stand for in cars?
1 Answers
EBD in cars refers to Electronic Brakeforce Distribution. EBD is actually an auxiliary function of ABS, involving the addition of a control software in the ABS control unit. The mechanical system is completely identical to ABS. EBD serves as an effective supplement to the ABS system, generally used in combination with ABS to enhance its effectiveness. During emergency braking, EBD operates before ABS kicks in. It automatically compares the slip rates of the rear tires based on the vehicle's weight and road conditions, using the front wheels as a reference. If it detects a difference that requires adjustment, the brake hydraulic system will adjust the pressure transmitted to the rear wheels to achieve a more balanced and nearly ideal distribution of braking force. Vehicles equipped with an EBD system automatically detect the adhesion conditions between each wheel and the road surface, appropriately distributing the force generated by the braking system among all four wheels. With the assistance of the EBD system, braking force can be utilized with optimal efficiency, significantly reducing braking distance while maintaining vehicle stability during braking, thereby enhancing driving safety.
