Introduction to Brake Control
Systems e-Seminar
Once reserved for high-end luxury vehicles, electronic brake control systems are quickly becoming standard
equipment on even the most inexpensive cars and trucks. Today, nearly every new vehicle benefits from the
optimized braking, enhanced acceleration, or improved stability that these systems provide. This comprehensive
e-seminar introduces participants to the system-level design considerations, vehicle interface requirements, and
inevitable performance compromises that must be addressed when implementing these technologies.
Instructor James Walker, Jr. begins the course by defining the tire-road interface and analyzing fundamental
vehicle dynamics. Following an in-depth study of system electronics, hydraulic hardware, and sensor requirements,
he explores the control strategies employed by anti-lock brakes (ABS), dynamic rear proportioning (DRP), traction
control (TCS), and electronic stability control (ESC) with strong emphasis placed on vehicle dynamic response. The
presentation culminates in a study of unique applications, industry trends, and a look forward to advanced brake
control system integration.
Based on the popular classroom seminar, Introduction to Brake Control Systems: ABS, TCS, and ESC, this nine
and a half hour course is divided into 13 modules on two CDs, accompanied by a handbook. Walker revisits key
concepts in a summary at the end of the course to reinforce learning and retention.
Is this e-Seminar for You?
This e-Seminar was developed for engineers involved in all disciplines related
to the design or development of vehicle braking systems, vehicle dynamics,
powertrain systems, or chassis/suspension systems. A basic knowledge of
college algebra, college physics, and a familiarity with vehicle foundation brake
system functionality is required.
Individuals new to the field of brake control systems will benefit most
from the material. This course is not intended for individuals with significant
background in, or experience with, brake control systems. In addition, please
note that because of proprietary considerations this class does not provide
details of algorithm design, algorithm performance, or algorithm application.
Instructor: James Walker, Jr.
