ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH

BRAKE-BY-WIRE SYSTEMS FOR MOTORSPORT

LSP has a record of many successful years in motorsports, continuously gaining valuable experience and proving to be world-class racing sports supplier!

More than 80% of Formula E teams chose IBSe, the flagship product in LSP’s motorsport braking system lineup. Of course, LSP was already known as a reliable and innovative development partner for braking systems in the LMP-1, where the entire range of LSP know-how was on display. Everything from electromechanical braking systems to braking systems for central hydraulics were conceived, tested and successfully used in racing operations there.

At the heart of LSP’s motorsports brake-by-wire products are highly dynamic EC motors and intelligent actuators that meet the extremely demanding performance, safety and reliability requirements of top-class racing competition. Our extensive motorsport product range offers a variety of mechanical and software features to meet different customer requirements.

Your Benefit with IBSe:

  • know-how, longstanding experience and know- how
  • short development cycles
  • fast response times
  • proven quality standards
Full recuperation with consistent braking dynamics

During recuperation, the electric motor adds an additional braking torque to the wheels. This is compensated with a reduction of brake pressure by the brake-by-wire system. Having no restrictions on the IBSe pressure target, this results in a considerably greater degree of freedom in terms of managing recuperation. Our customers can fully exploit the vehicle’s recuperation capacity without disturbing the vehicle dynamics.

Pedal simulator provides perfect handling

Brake-by-wire systems from LSP are situated between the brake pedal and the wheel brakes. An optional pedal simulator, which is individually adjusted for each customer, ensures constant pedal feel for the driver throughout the entire race – completely independently from the recuperation strategy.

Pressure control based on target signal

The LSP system can adjust any wheel pressure in less than a tenth of a second. This means brake balance can be optimally controlled in real time. The simple and proven CAN interface is quickly installed, and the system adapts itself automatically to a new brake system or vehicle.

Unbeatable reliability and durability

All LSP brake-by-wire systems comply with the IP67 seal classification and are subjected to numerous shaker, climatic chamber, endurance and sealing tests during development, thus conforming with the highest quality standards.

Highest safety standards based on series development for passenger car brake systems

To ensure drivers are not only first to cross the finish line, but also that they do so without accident or injury, LSP uses integrated electronics with proven fail-safe routines and 100% self-diagnosis features (system status, communication, pressure-volume characteristics, leakage). The hydraulic fall-back provides additional safety, especially during integration of the system into the vehicle.

IBSe 9 System Layout

IBSe 9 is installed at the brake pipe between the tandem master cylinder (TMC) and the brake calipers. Additionally, it needs to be connected to the reservoir.

The system has two different main operation states:

IBSe-enabled

In this mode the IBSe controls the wheel pressure based on the pressure demand coming from the vehicle control unit (VCU). The TMC is disconnected from the wheels, it is thus possible to control wheel pressure independently from the driver’s pedal feel. In this operating mode, overall energy recuperation for the electric motor (EM) is not restricted by the brake system.

IBSe-disabled (hydraulic fall-back mode)

In case of any system failure, the primary chamber of the TMC is directly connected with the brake calipers of the wheels. The pedal simulator is disconnected from the line. Wheel pressure is controlled by the driver, recuperation influences the drivers pedal feeling.

IBSe System Layout

Das System hat zwei wesentliche Zustände:

IBSe-enabled

In diesem Betriebsmodus kontrolliert das IBSe den Bremsdruck in den Radbremsen nach Soll-Vorgabe durch die zentrale Fahrzeugsteuerung (VCU). Der TMC ist von den Rädern getrennt und stattdessen mit dem Pedalsimulator, sofern vorhanden, verbunden. Somit ist es möglich, den Radbremsdruck komplett unabhängig vom Pedalgefühl des Fahrers einzustellen.

IBSe-disabled (Hydraulischer Fall-back)

Im Fehlerfall schaltet sich das BBW automatisch in diesen Betriebsmodus, die Radbremsen werden mit dem TMC verbunden, und der Fahrer kontrolliert den Bremsdruck mit seinem Pedal. Es findet keine Kompensation von möglicher Rekuperation statt. Eine sichere Verzögerung des Fahrzeugs ist zu jeder Zeit sichergestellt.
