description In this study, to address the problems of the redundant safety and mass production of electro-mechanical braking (EMB) structures that are widely used in distributed drive electric vehicles (DDEV), we designed a compact dual-disc electromagnetic–EMB composite brake. The composite brake embeds an electromagnetic brake into the original friction disc, which realizes an organic combination of the friction and electromagnetic brakes. Electromagnetic braking has the advantages of no friction, a rapid response, and a high-speed braking effect, which can effectively improve the reliability and mechanical redundancy of composite braking systems. The braking system comprises regenerative, electromagnetic, and friction braking, which are typical hybrid systems. We designed a mode-switching control strategy for a composite braking system based on the hybrid control theory. MATLAB/Simulink were used to model each system and set different simulation conditions. The simulation results showed that, under different working conditions, the hybrid automata control strategy had a fast response speed, small overshoot error, and adapted to different road conditions. The feasibility of the redundant design of the electromagnetic–friction–regenerative composite braking structure and the rationality of the hybrid automata control strategy design were verified.
