Analysis and Feasibility Study of Modern Braking System Effectiveness

This report presents a feasibility study on the effectiveness of different braking systems, focusing on mechanical and hydraulic systems, with a detailed analysis of the anti-lock braking system (ABS). It traces the evolution of ABS from its early applications in rail vehicles and aircraft to its modern implementation in cars and motorcycles. The study highlights the components of ABS, including speed sensors, valves, pumps, and controllers, and discusses the advancements made over time. The scope of the project is to develop a more efficient braking system through comparative analysis, with a major focus on anti-locked braking systems. The report concludes by examining modern ABS systems, their components, and their impact on vehicle safety. Desklib provides a platform to access similar solved assignments and study tools for students.

Feasibility study on the effectiveness of brakes
Refers to the braking system, then this is defining as the mechanical devices that are used to inhibits the
gesture by the gripping the energy from an affecting system. this is castoff to slow down the moving
device. Refers to the some of the braking systems, then they are using the friction between the two
exteriors pushed composed to change the kinetic energy of the affecting devices.
Reason for the project:
There is need to study the different type of the braking system that is present for the use of mechanical
devices. refers to the classification of the braking system, then this can be divided into the five different
categories.
 On the bases of the method of power.
 On the method of application.
 On the method of operation.
 By the method of braking contact.
 On the method of applying brake force.
Refers to the mechanical braking system then there is two major type of the braking system are present
one is the Disc break and other is the Hydraulic braking. Disc brakes are made up of high- grade cast iron
and have the good wear resistance property. Whereas refers to the hydraulic braking system, then they
are using the hydraulic pressure to slow down the vehicle speed. This is based on the pascal law.
There are different types of the braking system are available for the vehicle, the study is all about to
analysis the working of the different types of the braking system and then find out the best among all of
them.
Project goal:
Refers to the anti-lock decelerating system, this is also known as an anti-skid braking system. this is
defining as the vehicle safety system, this is the system that permits the wheels on a motorized vehicle
to maintains the tractive interaction with the superficial of the road according to the driver on the brake.
In the early times, this system is developed.
 In the year of 1908 and this was used in the rail vehicles. In the staring of the ABS the hydraulic
system is used to reduces the risk of slippages.
 In the year of 1950 Dunlop Maxaret use the anti-skid system in UK aircraft, while reducing the
braking distance by 30% in icy or wet condition.
 In the year 1958, used this system in the motorcycle (Royal Enfield super meteor Motorcycle).
This shows that the ABS is good for the motorcycles.
 In the year 1960. This system is used in the racing cars to reduces the distance of braking
system, but in that this is expensive and unreliable.
 In the later year of 1960, the electronic anti-lock system was developed for the Concorde
aircraft.
Refers to the hydraulic braking system, then this is the procedure of the braking device which uses the
brake liquid, the fluids are in the form of glycol ethers or diethylene glycol. This fluid transferee the

pressure from the controlling mechanism to braking mechanism. This was developed in the year of
1914, in the racing cars. And later developed in 1921 for cars.
Refers to the ABS system, then this is initially worked into the aircraft system with the use of the
hydraulic braking system. in that time that the blogs are attached into the flywheel and the valve
attached to the hydraulic line that feeds the brake cylinder. After that this anti-skid system in UK aircraft,
while reducing the braking distance by 30% in icy or wet condition. Then after this started into the
motorbikes by the Royal Enfield.
Refers to the current part of the system, then three are three-channel and the four sensors also wheels
are used in the ABS system. after that, this was present in the cars also to increase the efficiency of the
braking system.
Scope:
The scope of the project is developed the efficient braking system. this can be done after the analysis of
the different types of the braking system and compare them with each other. The major focus on the
anti-locked braking system. refers to the current scenario then these are working efficiently in the
market as there are making some of the minor changes into the working of the system. refers to the
modern system of the ABS.
 In the year of 1971 these ABS is called as a Sure brake as there are total three and four sensors
attached to the wheel.
 In the same year, the ford used this system in the rear wheels of Lincoln Continentals, and the
general motors are used this for the rear wheels only.
 Nissan also used this ABS system in the same year with the different name as electro anti-locked
system in Denso.
 In the year of 1976, WABCO starts to develop the anti-locking braking system for the
commercial vehicles.
 In the year of 1976, the Mercedes-Benz W116 becomes the first production car with the
Electronic anti-locking system.
Refers to the components of the ABS system, then there are total four major components of the system.
 Speed sensors: this is the system, that is rummage-sale to determine the rushing and slowing of
the wheel.
 Valves: this is the system, that is used to controls each brake line, there are total three valves
are attached to this braking system.
 Pump: this the system, that is used to reinstate the compression to hydraulic brakes after that
valves have released.
 Controller: this is the type of the ECU, that take the information from each wheel’s speed
sensor.
