The brake force distribution device for vehicle includes: a turning state detection part detecting whether the vehicle is in a turning state based on the driving state of the vehicle; a vehicle speed detection part detecting whether the vehicle speed is equal to or less than a prescribed threshold; a first yaw moment calculation part calculating the first yaw moment based on the driving state of the vehicle, the vehicle speed and the first wheelbase; a second yaw moment calculation part calculating the second yaw moment based on the driving state and the vehicle speed as well as based on the second wheelbase which is the inherent value of the vehicle; and a target moment calculation part calculating a target moment based on the difference between the first yaw moment and the second yaw moment.

This application provides a braking system, a control apparatus, and an electric vehicle. The braking system includes a controller and four actuators. Each actuator includes a brake disc. The braking system is configured to adjust, based on temperatures of four brake discs, braking force output by the four actuators. The controller is configured to control an actuator corresponding to a brake disc with a too high temperature to reduce braking force output, or is configured to control an actuator corresponding to a brake disc with a too low temperature to increase braking force output.

Typically, mobile equipment with axles has a mechanically fixed or constant split ratio for the braking torque that is applied to each axle. Disclosed embodiments dynamically adjust the braking torque ratio between axles based on real-time parameter values, such as requested braking power and a real-time brake state parameter (e.g., brake temperatures), to more evenly distribute wear or other health imbalances across the brake systems of mobile equipment. Accordingly, disclosed embodiments may extend the longevity of brake systems, reduce the costs of maintenance of mobile equipment, facilitate a more cost-effective brake system that balances health or durability with performance under different operating scenarios, and/or the like.
