Many global car manufacturers in the world are recently developing a variety of electric vehicles in response to demanding market needs. Also, they have adapted the architecture method in order to develop electric vehicles effectively. It is because architecture method can produce various electric vehicles with high profitability. However, when electric vehicles are being developed, brake system has a lot of demanding tasks in relation to deciding specification of brake system because of heavy vehicle weight, narrow power electric room space and large volume of electric hydraulic booster. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for deciding the front and rear brake systems in order to design the brake system of electric vehicles effectively. To do this, we study correlations among vehicle weight, layout of power electric room and volume of electric hydraulic booster. And then, we also study combination of hydraulic braking and regenerative braking which is widely applied to electric vehicles. Finally, we want to contribute to build up modular design of brake system for architecture of electric vehicles through these studies.
