Abstract
An electromechanical braking system utilizes redundancy features to provide safe and reliable braking. The braking system is configured to operate on power provided by multiple power sources. Different modes of braking are available based on whether a failure has occurred in one or more power sources. Additionally, system redundancy allows for failure in one or more primary components without total loss of braking capacity. Proportional braking is provided even in an emergency braking mode.
