EXPERIMENTAL MODEL FOR A BRAKE TEST STAND

Abstract

A brake test stand is a mechanical system that simulates a driveway in order to test the efficiency of the braking system of an auto vehicle. It hosts a range of sensors and transmitters which measure the braking forces applied to the wheels of the vehicle under test. In order to develop the computer software that controls the entire system, we first build an experimental model that can emulate the real brake test stand.
