DBC: Dynamic Braking Control

The Dynamic Braking Control (DBC) provides support in emergency braking situations by automatically boosting the brake pressure. Advantage: Shortest possible stopping distances in emergency braking situations by achieving ABS control operation on all four wheels. In emergency braking situations, it is frequently the case that the brake pedal is not pressed strongly enough. ABS control range is then not activated. In the following situations, the return pump increases the brake pressure until ABS control range is activated:

• Rapid operation of the brake pedal with inadequate brake pedal force
• Slow operation of the brake pedal and subsequent high deceleration requirement if one wheel reaches the control threshold for ABS. Which wheel blocks first depends on the vehicle load and road surface coefficient of friction. Such situations are typical: if the traffic situation means that initial braking is light but the traffic situation then requires a stopping distance that is as short as possible.
