Design and Fabrication of Outboard Braking System for All Terrain Vehicle

Abstract

The main objective of the Brakes is to retard the vehicle quickly and easily. Retarding a vehicle in manner such that driver has complete control over it is essential. The safety while braking is very crucial and is quantified by evaluating mathematical model. In this paper evaluation of mathematical model is done by calculating braking torque and comparing it with the required value. This paper discusses ideas for using various components in the system, design variables and the logic behind selecting those components. The design is done in such a manner so that optimum yet effective braking is achieved. The data related to braking system is used to extract average values of design parameters, making the theoretical calculations as realistic as possible.
