According to the change to the hybrid, fuel cell, electric vehicle, and the demand for the safety and the ecofriendliness, the necessity of Electro-Mechanical Brake(EMB) is raised. The most important issue for realizing EMB is that the required motor power for braking is too large. So the high braking efficiency is required. In recent years, Siemens VDO’s Electronic Wedge Brake(EWB) is noticeable for the high braking efficiency. In this research we propose a new brake mechanism which has higher braking efficiency than Siemens VDO’s EWB. We verify this mathematically and by simulation.
