Sensotronic Braking Control is an innovative Braking technology introduced by Mercedes. It is an electrically controlled braking system which is more precise than the conventional hydraulic system. SBC reduces the stopping distance by identifying the situation in hand. When the driver presses the brake paddle the calculations are made by sensors and signals are fed to a microcomputer which makes the further calculation is generated optimum braking pressure on each wheel. Due to high-pressure reservoir & electronically controllable valves, maximum brake pressure is generated sooner. SBC offers more safety in case of corner braking or on the slippery surface than conventional Hydraulic Braking. Moreover, this technology reduces the workload on the driver in traffic. The SOFT-STOP feature allows soft and smooth stopping in city traffic. In case if SBC fails due to malfunction then a backup hydraulic braking is provided for additional safety. But for an effective braking system conditions of the brake pad and brake lining is to be ensured. Hence a microsensor is incorporated into a brake pad on a special test rig. This sensor calculates the thickness of the brake lining, its hardness and critical wear region of the brake pad. This system very effective in alerting the driver when wear of brake pads reaches the maximum limit and hence avoids further damage to the vehicle.
