Automotive : Chassis Systems : Brake Pressure Sensor (High-Pressure)

Brake pressure sensing is used in a Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) system which improves brake effectiveness in emergency "panic stop" situations.

In an emergency stop the brake pressure will be distributed to any or all of the wheels in a manner designed to retain directional stability of the car

The system also helps to maintain directional stability when braking while cornering.

A brake pressure sensor records the magnitude and speed of the brake pressure change and the sensor communicates these values to the DBC control unit. The control unit compares the values to its stored DBC activation thresholds. DBC will activate only if certain predefined criteria are met. DBC deactivates when the driver releases the brake pedal or if the vehicle slows down below a minimum speed.
