With the help of the several kinds of sensors mounted in driveline for the total traction force estimation, EPB can obtain well performance on drive-off assistance and automatic parking brake. Furthermore, its AUTOHOLD function can realize automatic parking brake and ease the driver. However, given that the higher cost and complexity of this traction force estimation method based on the driveline sensors and its slower response resulted by applying maximum parking force for safety parking while driving off, a novel automatic parking brake system without these transmission system sensors, such as clutch position sensor for the cars with manual transmission, is proposed in this paper, including its control scheme and application test. Firstly, the indirect judgement method of the appropriate moment to release the parking brake, which is based on the car pitch moment when it drives off, is introduced according to the force analysis when the car is ready to go. Then a pragmatic mass estimation method for proper brake force calculation is proposed for improving the drive-off performance. In addition, for the convenience and drivability of skillful driver, as well as the system reliability, a mechanical redundant design to reserve the conventional handbrake lever is also described. Finally, various simulations based on CarSim software and road tests are performed to validate its effectiveness.展开更多
