Electric parking brakes

The parking brake is a device that mainly allows you to block the car during stops. It is often called a hand brake, because in most cases it can be activated by pulling a lever while in other cases, however, the control is by pedal, as on many Mercedes and American cars. With the evolution of technology, the electric parking brake is becoming widespread, in which a simple switch replaces the classic lever or pedal.

General operation:

In traditional systems: pulling the hand brake lever, or pressing the relevant pedal, puts tensions on steel cables ,which act mechanically on the rear brakes, whether disc or drum.
In electric systems: the electric parking brake uses electromechanical actuators placed directly on the brake callipers, or they use a device which, through an electric motor, puts traction on the metal ropes just as happens on traditional systems.

The electric parking brake has many advantages, from compactness (the dimensions free up space in the passenger compartment) to practicality of use, given that it requires minimal effort. Furthermore, the manufacturer can set the electronics to allow it to automatically engage or disengage, improving safety and making the driver's life easier. An obvious application, in this sense, is hill start assist, which prevents the car from rolling backwards for a few seconds when the normal brake pedal is released. In case of emergency, the electric device ensures powerful and immediate deceleration, under the control of ABS and ESP.
