ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM, VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRIC BRAKE SYSTEM

摘要

An electric brake system is configured by having: electric brakes (3) for exerting braking force through a brake operation of a driver, the electric brakes being provided to at least two left and right wheels of a vehicle (1); hydraulic brakes (4) for exerting braking force in place of the electric brakes (3) when the electric brakes (3) fail, the hydraulic brakes (4) being housed along with the electric brakes (3) within vehicle wheels (2) provided with the electric brakes (3); and a control device (12) for putting the hydraulic brakes (4) into an active state when the failure occurs. When the electric brakes (3) fail, the vehicle (1) can be safely braked by activating the hydraulic brakes (4).
