INTRODUCTION
The intelligent function of EPB systems makes
the parking brake be operated and released
automatically. That is more convenient to use than
traditional systems, and has the following merits:

TESTING RESULTS
Several important characteristics of the actuator
may be indicated in the ways listed below:
The linearity of the cable pulling force and electric
current.
The working time of the actuator.
The feedback motor electric current signal of the
actuator.
The accuracy of the cable-pulling force.
The repeatability of the cable-pulling force.
The linearity Cable-pulling force to the motor current
chart is shown in Figure 4. The control unit was
connected to a DC12V power supply. The electric
current started from 8A, and the cable pulling force
was recorded corresponding to electric current with an
increment of 1A until 20A. Because the actuator needs
certain start torque, the testing below 7A was not
carried out.
