Abstract: This article presents an overview of electronic braking systems using SR (Switched Reluctance) machines. The advantages presented by this structure when compared to the conventional hydraulic systems are discussed. A justification for the choice of the SRM as a valid candidate is provided, with a detailed analysis of its control structure and performance. Experimental results obtained using a digital signal processor are also presented.

Keywords: brake systems; electromechanical brake-by-wire; electrohydraulic; four-quadrant; switched reluctance motor; electronic braking systems; digital signal processing; DSP; vehicle braking systems.
