2. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

   Regenerative and friction braking must both be used, creating the need to control them to produce the required total braking. The GM EV-1 was the first commercial car to do this. In 1997 and 1998, engineers Abraham Farag and Loren Majersik were issued two patents for this brake-by-wire technology.

3. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

   The N700 Series Shinkansen abandoned eddy current brakes in favour of regenerative brakes, since 14 of the 16 cars in the trainset used electric motors. In regenerative brakes, the motor that drives the wheel is used as a generator to produce electric current, which can be used to charge a battery, enabling the energy to be reused.

4. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   A drum brake is a vehicle brake in which the friction is caused by a set of brake shoes that press against the inner surface of a rotating drum. The drum is connected to the rotating roadwheel hub. Drum brakes generally can be found on older car and truck models.

5. Electromagnetic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_brake

   Electromagnetic brakes or EM brakes are used to slow or stop vehicles using electromagnetic force to apply mechanical resistance (friction). They were originally called electro-mechanical brakes but over the years the name changed to "electromagnetic brakes", referring to their actuation method which is generally unrelated to modern electro-mechanical brakes.

   There are fewer fluids and moving parts that can break, for example, and regenerative braking reduces brake wear. Electric cars avoid the need for oil or transmission fluid changes, as well as ...

7. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

   Although blended braking combines both dynamic and air braking, the resulting braking force is designed to be the same as the air brakes on their own provide. This is achieved by maximizing the dynamic brake portion, and automatically regulating the air brake portion, because the main purpose of dynamic braking is to reduce the amount of air ...
