 Brake Time! - MSN Autos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The addition of electronics to automotive brakes in recent years spawned all manner of new brake systems with acronyms such as ABS and EBD (Electronic Brakeforce Distribution).
Without EBD, there can be circumstances where a vehicle's brake force is more heavily skewed to one part of the car, resulting in the vehicle pulling to one side and unnerving the driver or even causing a skid.
Among the SUVs with standard EBD are Toyota's 4Runner and Land Cruiser and the Nissan Pathfinder.

Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) work together to provide safe, confident braking.
EBD regulates braking distribution between front and rear axles to maintain maximum braking efficiency - especially when the vehicle is subjected to heavy weight conditions.
The ABS system - linked with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution - has been tuned to ensure optimum control on all kinds of surfaces, whether the sun's out or it's bucketing down.

 LEXUS - Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
EBD optimises the performance of the car's ABS anti-lock braking system.
ABS prevents an individual wheel from locking by cutting brake pressure as soon as a skid is detected.
This information is relayed to the Brake Actuator which then distributes the brakeforce to each wheel accordingly.

Typical systems consist of 3-4 wheel speed sensors, an ECU containing the algorithm processing the wheel speed information, a series of solenoid-driven valves, and a pump-motor subsystem which can be actuated to build, hold, and release brake fluid pressure from the wheel-end brake components.
EBDElectronic Brakeforce Distribution (also referred to as DRP, dynamic rear proportioning) – An electro-mechanical control system designed to monitor and influence rear wheel dynamics, and ultimately foundation brake (front-rear) balance.
Of the four technologies described herein, EBD may be the simplest to define, yet may carry the most wide-reaching impacts to base vehicle braking performance.

 FACTfile - Fiat Punto
The electronically controlled device ensures smooth operation and jerk-free management of transitions in acceleration and over-run because the accelerator operating signal may be filtered.
For example, the system includes an electronic device for detecting a fast acceleration request (corresponding to a downshift on a manual gearbox) that is more sensitive and effective than the kick-down on a conventional automatic transmission.
This device is just as revolutionary as the alternator, electronic ignition and front wheel drive in their day and is destined to bring about a considerable increase in energy saving, noiselessness, reliability and respect for the environment while also significantly improving the way we drive and enjoy our cars.
