Automotive Brake System Design

From the moment the car was born, vehicle braking systems play a crucial role in vehicle safety. In recent years, with the advancement of vehicle technology and the increase in the speed of automobiles, this importance has become increasingly apparent. There are many types of automotive brake systems and they come in various forms. The traditional structural types of brake systems include mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and gas-liquid hybrid types. Their working principles are basically the same. They use braking devices to gradually consume the kinetic energy of the vehicle with the frictional heat generated during the operation, so as to achieve the purpose of braking the vehicle to slow down or stop until parking. With the research and development of energy-saving and clean energy vehicles, the automotive power system has undergone great changes, and many new structural types and functional forms have emerged. The emergence of new power systems also requires a corresponding change in the type and function of the braking system.
