Abstract: A vehicle includes a plurality of brake assemblies and a plurality of electronic brake system (EBS) controllers. The brake assemblies each include an electro-mechanical actuator configured to adjust a torque force applied to a wheel of the vehicle. The EBS controllers are located remotely from one another. Each EBS controller has integrated therein an electronic actuator driver unit that includes an electronic power circuit configured to drive at least one of the electro-mechanical actuators. A first EBS controller is configured to drive a first group of electro-mechanical actuators, and a second EBS controller is configured to drive a second group of electro-mechanical actuators that exclude the electro-mechanical actuators of the first group.

Abstract: A brake pedal emulator for a brake-by-wire system of a vehicle extends and connects between a support structure and a brake pedal operatively engaged to the support structure. The brake pedal emulator includes a hydraulic cylinder having a magneto-rheological hydraulic fluid and an electrical element configured to carry an electrical current for controlling a viscosity of the magneto-rheological hydraulic fluid and thereby controlling a first force exerted by the hydraulic cylinder when actuated by the brake pedal.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling a current flow through a charge connector to a charging system includes a charge connector including a plug connectable to a power outlet to receive a current flow, the plug including a temperature sensor to measure an interface temperature at the plug and outlet interface, the charge connector including a coupler connectable to an inlet of the charging system, where one of a control module of the charge connector and a controller of the charging system is operable to control the current flow to an adjusted level determined by one of the interface temperature and a voltage drop at the plug. A communication link may be established by a coupler element connected to an inlet element to transmit signals between the control module and connector. The charge connector may be connectable to a charging system of a plug-in electric vehicle.
