Parking brake. In road vehicles, the parking brake, also known as a handbrake or emergency brake ( e-brake ), is a mechanism used to keep the vehicle securely motionless when parked. Parking brakes often consist of a pulling mechanism attached to a cable which is connected to two wheel brakes. In most vehicles, the parking brake operates only ...
Brake-by-wire. SpeedE, an academic concept car developed for studying drive-by-wire technologies such as brake-by-wire. Brake-by-wire technology in the automotive industry is the ability to control brakes through electronic means, without a mechanical connection that transfers force to the physical braking system from a driver input apparatus ...
An electronic parking brake ( EPB ), also known as an electric parking brake or electric park brake, is an electronically controlled parking brake, whereby the driver activates the holding mechanism with a button and the brake pads are electrically applied to the rear wheels. [ 1] This is accomplished by an electronic control unit (ECU) and an ...

The integrated use of telecommunications and informatics for application in vehicles and to control vehicles on the move. Global navigation satellite system technology integrated with computers and mobile communications ...
Drive by wire or DbW technology in the automotive industry is the use of electronic or electro-mechanical systems in place of mechanical linkages that control driving functions. The concept is similar to fly-by-wire in the aviation industry. [ 2] Drive-by-wire may refer to just the propulsion of the vehicle through electronic throttle control ...
Feb. 26—Barnacle parking devices, an increasingly popular alternative to parking boots that attach to car windshields and are designed to immobilize parked vehicles, are not allowed on public ...
Automotive electronics are electronic systems used in vehicles, including engine management, ignition, radio, carputers, telematics, in-car entertainment systems, and others. Ignition, engine and transmission electronics are also found in trucks, motorcycles, off-road vehicles, and other internal combustion powered machinery such as forklifts ...
FS: Parking Brake. Electronic brakeforce distribution ( EBD or EBFD) or electronic brakeforce limitation ( EBL) is an automobile brake technology that automatically varies the amount of force applied to each of a vehicle's wheels, based on road conditions, speed, loading, etc, thus providing intelligent control of both brake balance and overall ...
