The braking system is the most important system in a vehicle. If the brakes fail, the results may be disastrous. Hence, an optimized braking system in a vehicle is essential for the driver’s safety. The objective of this project is to create a physical model of braking systems in EV. The physical model is to demonstrate the transfer of forces from mechanical domain to hydraulic domain and back to the mechanical domain. Our main aim is to provide enough braking force to completely lock the wheels at the end of specified acceleration run and also prove to be cost effective. Braking system is designed by determining parameters necessary to produce a given deceleration and comparing it to the deceleration that a known braking system would produce. For the vehicle purely mechanical parking brakes would be used. When the vehicle would be in static condition the parking brake will be used to lock the rear wheels. The mechanical nature allows the driver to apply the brake even if the main hydraulic brake system fails. These types of brakes are used to ensure that a vehicle remains stationery when parked at a certain slope. Firstly, a rough sketch of hydraulic brake system and mechanical parking brake will be chalked out to get an idea of how the system should look like. From then on, the design of hydraulic braking system and parking brake will be modelled in dedicated designing platform. Moving forward the system will be analyzed by using the software “Ansys Workbench” and the optimized structure will be given for manufacturing. Subsequently, the system will be tested in the actual environment and the performance criteria will be checked.
