As an add-on logic to the antilock brake system (ABS) base algorithm, electronic brake force distribution (EBD) works in a range in which the intervention thresholds for ABS control are not reached yet.

EBD ensures that the rear wheels are sensitively monitored for slip with respect to the front axle. If slip is detected, the inlet valves for the rear wheels are switched to pressure hold to prevent a further increase in pressure at the rear-wheel brakes, thus electronically reproducing a pressure-reduction function at the rear-wheel brakes.
