Innovation in breaking systems
New technologies have been implemented to satisfy the performance demand of drivers. Active safety control systems such as Anti-lock brake systems (ABS), electronic braking force distribution (EBD), traction-control system (TCS) and electronic stability program (ESP) need to improve their existing braking functions in order to be effective in improving driving safety.
 * * The future development in braking technologies will progress towards brake by wire, so brake manufactures are developing Electro-Mechanical Brake (EMB) and Electro-hydraulic Braking (EHB) systems.


 *  EMB and EHB systems replace conventional hydraulic systems by eliminating the hydraulics and replacing them with electrical components to be used in the Hybrid Electric Vehicles.


 * EHB gets rid of the vacuum booster and replaces the current modulator with one that includes a high pressure accumulator. EHB uses the electrical power to build sufficient pressure for efficient brake operation. || [[image:EMB-EHB-Brake_system.png width="231" height="259" align="center" caption="Fig 7 EMB and EHB side by side comparisons"]] ||
