Abstract

A braking system includes a first hydraulic brake assembly associated with a first front wheel, a second hydraulic brake assembly associated with a second front wheel, a front EBB module operably coupled to the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies for primary operation of the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies, a first EMB assembly associated with a first rear wheel, a second EMB assembly associated with a second rear wheel, a controller operably coupled to the first and second EMB assemblies for primary operation of the first and second EMB assemblies, a first power network and a second power network providing redundant power supply to the system, and a bus network operably coupling both the EBB module and the controller to the first and second EMB assemblies so the EBB module can provide control of backup operation of the first and second EMB assemblies if the controller is inoperable.
