SELECTIVE ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE ACTUATOR BRAKING FOR POWER CONSUMPTION REDUCTION

An electromechanical brake system is disclosed herein. The electromechanical brake system includes at least two electromechanical brake actuators and an electronic brake actuator controller. The electronic brake actuator controller is coupled to the at least two electromechanical brake actuators. Responsive to receiving a requested braking force, the electronic brake actuator controller is configured to: determine whether the requested braking force is above a predetermined percentage of a total amount of braking available; and, responsive to the requested braking force being at or below the predetermined percentage of the total amount of braking available, selectively control one electromechanical brake actuator of the at least two electromechanical brake actuators and selectively control an amount of braking force applied by the one electromechanical brake actuator.
