図1及び図2を用いて本実施形態に係る車両用ブレーキシステム1について詳細に説明する。図1は本実施形態に係る車両用ブレーキシステム1を示す全体構成図であり、図2は本実施形態に係る車両用ブレーキシステム1のマスタコントローラ30、第1、第2サブコントローラ40,41及び第1スレーブコントローラ50を示すブロック図である。
前輪左側(FL)の車輪Waに設けられる電動ブレーキ16aは、ブレーキキャリパ5aと、ブレーキキャリパ5aに減速機4aを介して固定されたモータ80,81と、モータ80,81によって図示しない摩擦パッドに加えられる荷重を検出する荷重センサ6aと、を備える。モータ80は、自身のステータに対する回転軸の相対位置を検出する回転角センサ90を備える。モータ81は、モータ80と同軸であるため回転角センサは不要である。荷重センサ6aの検出信号は、第1サブコントローラ40に入力され、回転角センサ90の検出信号は、ドライバ60,61に入力される。
車両用ブレーキシステム1は、入力装置であるブレーキペダル2と、ブレーキペダル2に接続されたストロークシミュレータ3と、を含む。ブレーキペダル2は、運転者のブレーキペダル2の操作量を検出する第2ストロークセンサ21及び第3ストロークセンサ22を備える。ストロークシミュレータ3は、ブレーキペダル2の操作量を検出する第1ストロークセンサ20を備える。
