Original Abstract Submitted
A method and apparatus for controlling braking of a vehicle are provided. The apparatus includes an in-wheel motor installed in a wheel to rotate the wheel, an electro-mechanical brake installed in the wheel to perform braking, a vehicular speed sensor to measure a speed of the vehicle, and a processor to: compute a required braking force, in response to receiving a signal initiated by a brake pedal; control braking by distributing the required braking force to the electro-mechanical brake and the in-wheel motor; determine a braking state according to a speed of the vehicle and recompute a braking torque for the in-wheel motor; and in case the electro-mechanical brake fails to operate, control the in-wheel motor to bring the vehicle to a stop.
