๐Ÿš›Keynote address: 30 years of brake-by-wire systems: from the origins to todayโ€™s trends๐Ÿš— Jochen Buck, Project Leader of Electronic Brake Management Software at Daimler Truck AG Truck shared insights in the first keynote address of EuroBrake 2024. Jochen highlighted that brake-by-wire has been a game-changer in the trucking industry for nearly 30 years. Introduced in 1996, brake-by-wire has enhanced safety, efficiency, and comfort for truck drivers, fleet owners, and all road users. A tragic event in 1987 spurred the introduction of brake-by-wire in trucking as a critical safety feature, and its success hinges on a robust safety concept. Electrification is key to the development of electronically controlled braking systems, and looking ahead, brake-by-wire will be crucial in enabling automated driving functions. This technology has significantly evolved alongside advancements in materials, pneumatic brake technology, software, and CPUs. Electronic braking systems on tractors and trailers have notably reduced braking distances. Thanks Jochen for your insightful presentation! #EuroBrake2024 #BrakeByWire #BrakingTechnology #Innovation #AutomotiveSafety
