The European Research Project BRAKE

With the goal of developing a safe brake-by-wire system based on distributed control, four companies – the electronic systems manufacturer Delphi, and automobile, microprocessor, and operating system manufacturers – got together in the European Union research project BRAKE and produced a working prototype car which has already been presented in public. This car has a braking system whose hydraulics have been completely replaced by electromechanical components. Throughout the project, Delphi made extensive use of the TargetLink code generator.
