Abstract

An important factor in handling of any vehicle is making it to come quick and easy stop. Retarding a vehicle
in manner such that driver has complete control over it is essential. The safety while braking is paramount and is
quantified by evaluating mathematical model of braking. The evaluation of model is done by calculation of braking
torque and comparing it with required value. The paper discusses ideas for using various components in the system,
design variables and logic behind selecting correct values of those variables. The design of braking system consists of
evaluating multitude of scenarios and using them to achieve optimum, yet effective braking. The data related to them is
used to extract average values of design parameters, making the theoretical calculations as realistic as possible.
