Abstract

This paper presents a new measurement concept for brake-pedal force in brake-by-wire systems by means of micromechanical pressure sensors. Differing from the conventional approach, the applied force is not measured indirectly via the pedal travel or angle, but directly at the point of application itself. First, the “driver - brake pedal” interface is analyzed so that the results can then be incorporated in a prototype brake pedal with an integral micromechanical sensor.
