Fail-safe emergency brake actuator
Safety for unmanned driving tests
Safety-relevant driving tests, during which no driver can sit at the wheel of the test vehicle, are constantly increasing. During the test period, it must nevertheless be ensured that the vehicle can still be brought to a standstill safely and quickly even if test components fail.
For such applications, VEHICO offers a fail-safe emergency brake actuator, which can activate the brake pedal from outside the vehicle.

Performance Features
The unique concept of the Failsafe Emergency Brake Actuator
fail-safe operation of the brake pedal
The emergency brake system enables a fail-safe operation of the vehicle brake pedal. By its own energy storage it is independent from the vehicle power system and even if the vehicle power fails the system brings the vehicle safely to a halt.
manual trigger with defined pedal force
With the help of a hand switch a passenger can trigger a manual brake actuation at any time. The adjustable braking force even enables application of panic braking tests or emergency brake maneuvers.
braking by driver still possible
The driver seat remains free even with installed emergency brake system. Therefore the test car can be driven normally, for example for transfer purposes. The manual control of the brake pedal is still possible.
auto diagnosis
The system has extensive auto diagnostic algorithms and is monitoring itself during the entire test period. If an irregular situation is determined, this is immediately reported and a security maneuver is initiated.
Extension to CC/CP drive
The failsafe emergency brake actuator is an optimal supplement for vehicles with built-in driving robots or own driving dynamics solutions in order to be able to guarantee the safety of the overall system during autonomous driving manoeuvres.
