This paper deals with the development of a fault-free model of the pneumatic subsystem of an air brake system that is used in commercial vehicles. Our objective is to use this model in brake control and diagnostic applications. The development of a diagnostic system would be useful in automating enforcement inspections and also in monitoring the condition of the brake system in real-time. This paper presents a detailed description of the development of this model and of the experimental setup used to corroborate this model for various realistic test runs.

This paper presents experimental investigation of braking performance of vacuum brake system for light commercial vehicles. The vacuum brake system uses a compressor for creating vacuum and requires less driver effort compared to the conventional brake system. In this work various components of vacuum brake system are designed and fabricated and then installed in Maruti Omni vehicle for performance testing. The stopping distance, braking force and braking efficiency are analysed for vacuum brake system.
