Air Brake System

Braking systems for heavy commercial vehicles differ greatly from the design for light-duty motor vehicles. For example, 49 CFR 571.121 and 49 CFR 393.52 require loaded buses, single unit commercial vehicles, and vehicle-trailer combinations equipped with air brake systems to generate sufficient braking force to meet specific stopping distance, stopping acceleration rate, and brake force-to-weight percentage performance criteria. The combination of unique design, mechanical complexity, and maintenance issues characteristic to air brake systems also pose difficulty in the analysis of air brake system performance. Air brake system performance presents a difficult problem for the forensic engineer with limited familiarity regarding air brake system functions and the elements affecting brake performance. This paper provides insight into the evolution of air brake system standards and the applicable performance criteria for heavy commercial vehicles. The methods presented allow the forensic engineer to mathematically analyze and determine the effects of brake size, mismatched components, brake adjustment, and system air pressure on the overall braking force and stopping capabilities of air brake equipped commercial vehicles.

The combined brake system (CBS) is a mechanism that links the front and rear brakes for scooters. For two-wheeled scooters, a CBS with appropriate braking force distribution can reduce the risk of crashing accidents due to insufficient driving proficiency. The design of the braking force distribution for a CBS is challenging to the designer because it has to fulfill many requirements such as braking performance, ride comfort, reliability, and low costs. This paper proposes a systematic method to optimize the parameters of CBS. The evaluation indexes for the design are first discussed. The steps to determine the critical parameter to meet the indexes and a method to predict braking performance are developed. Finally, driving tests are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results showed that the deceleration of the tested scooter equipped with the designed CBS achieves an average mean fully developed deceleration (MFDD) of 5.246 m/s2, higher than the homologation requirement. Furthermore, the proposed method’s prediction of braking performance is in good agreement with the test results, with errors <1%.

The Mathematical Model

Abstract The article is focused on braking simulation of automated guided vehicle (AGV). The brake system is used with a disc brake and with hydraulic control. In the first step, the formula necessary for braking force at the start of braking is derived. The stopping distance is 1.5 meters. Subsequently, a mathematical model of braking is created into which the formula of the necessary braking force is applied. The mathematical model represents a motion equation that is solved in the software Matlab by an approximation method. Next a simulation is created using Matlab software and the data of simulation are displayed in the graph. The transport speed of the vehicle is 1 〖m.s〗^(-1) and the weight of the vehicle is 6000 kg including load. The aim of this article is to determine the braking time of the device depending from the input data entered, which represent the initial conditions of the braking process.

Safety Systems

Recently, the vehicle brake system equipped with anti-lock braking systems (ABS) is considered one of the most important effective safety systems. The importance of ABS, to get maintains the safety of vehicles on roads during emergency braking and it enables reliable stopping whilst maintaining the vehicle stability and ease steer-ability. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate the vehicle braking performance of controlled brake ABS that is designed with three types of controller and compares them, they are bang-bang, Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) on rough dry and wet roads to control longitudinal slip. The main obstacles of controller design in automobile systems are concerned to high non-linearities of the mathematical model. 2DOF longitudinal quarter vehicle model with taking into account the rational motion of the tire is used to examine the braking performance. The tire-road interface model and braking system model are included in vehicle model. By reviewing the results, it was found that FLC method has an effective and better effect compared to two methods on the performance of brake system equipped with ABS system. It was found that vehicle stopping distance was reduced by 21.77m and 10.3m with dry and wet asphalt roads respectively compared to braking without ABS for fuzzy control at velocity 100 km/hr.

The Stability

The present work explores a magnetorheological brake (MRB)-based anti-lock brake system (ABS) proposed for a vehicular application. Because of its quick response time, MRB is being considered as a substitute for the conventional hydraulic brake (CHB), commonly used for road vehicles. ABS is used along with CHB to prevent wheel lockup due to severe braking and thereby maintain the stability of the vehicle. This work envisages ABS for a vehicle using MRB instead of CHB. The braking maneuver for a typical mid-size car with and without ABS is simulated in a MATLAB environment. Both versions, a CHB-based ABS and a MRB-based ABS are considered in simulations. The braking performance in terms of stopping time and stopping distance is estimated. A PID and a Fuzzy controller are proposed for improving the control performance of the brake system. The comparative analysis based on the simulations helps make estimations for MRB-based ABS performance.

In order to grasp the braking effect of the portal crane after the installation of auxiliary wind safety device, the braking process of real harbor crane with dual-stage windproof braking system exposed to fluctuating wind is simulated. The effect on the crane braking performance of braking device response lag and artificially lowering working braking force is also analyzed. It is demonstrated that the dual-stage brake system is superior to the single and could improve the windproof ability when working braking force decline.

Abstract This article presents the results of measurements of the braking efficiency of vehicles adapted to be operated by drivers with motor dysfunctions. In such cars, the braking system is extended with an adaptive device that allows braking with the upper limb. This device applies pressure to the original brake in the car. The braking force and thus its efficiency depend on the mechanical ratio in the adapting device. In addition, braking performance depends on the sensitivity of the car’s original braking system and the maximum force that a disabled person can exert on the handbrake lever. Such a person may have limited power in the upper limbs. The force exerted by the driver can also be influenced by the position of the driver’s seat in relation to the handbrake lever. This article describes the research aimed at understanding the influence of the above-mentioned factors on the car braking performance. As a part of the analysis of the test results, a mathematical function was proposed that allows a parametric description of the braking efficiency index on the basis of data on the braking system, adaptation device, driver’s motor limitations, and the position of the driver’s seat. The information presented in this article can be used for the preliminary selection of adaptive devices to the needs of a given driver with a disability and to the vehicle construction.
