Electronic brakeforce distribution

During heavy braking, preventing wheel lock-up helps the driver maintain steering control.

As per the technical paper published by Buschmann et al.,[5] "The job of the EBD as a subsystem of the ABS system is to control the effective adhesion utilization by the rear wheels.

To do so, the conventional brake design is modified in the direction of rear axle overbraking, and the components of the ABS are used.

EBD optimizes the brake design with regard to: adhesion utilization; driving stability; wear; temperature stress; and pedal force."

EBD may work in conjunction with ABS[6] and electronic stability control (ESC) to minimize yaw accelerations during turns.
