摘要：	Electronically Controlled Braking Systems (ECBS) offer many potential benefits to the trucking industry in the areas of safety, reliability, enhanced driver feedback, and maintainability. ECBS are being tested by a number of manufacturers. These systems are intended to replace the current pneumatic brake application signal with an electronic actuation signal. This report represents a preliminary review of ECBS technology. The stakeholders considered in this report are the users (operating truck fleets), the truck manufacturers, the brake manufacturers, and the federal government. The ultimate customers, the fleets, are key to the successful introduction of ECBS. The fleets see ECBS as a promising technology and natural evolution of the success of electronically controlled engines and transmissions. The major concern of the federal government is safety. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) interest is to create a practical performance standard for ECBS or to provide information to establish industry recommended practices. These performance standards should provide a minimum standard for stopping capabilities and safety assurance (fail-safe performance). The major issue facing NHTSA is whether to modify Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 121 to include ECBS, or to produce a new regulation that directly addresses the issues of ECBS. The identified barriers to the deployment of ECBS are: the potential increased cost of ECBS; lack of data on ECBS promised benefits; lack of industrial standards regarding ECBS; lack of human factors data regarding new ECBS features such as brake feel; lack of federal regulations; and system security.
