Simulation of Electric Truck Brake System Operating in Industrial Plants

This study analyzes the quarter car braking model to determine the effect of the wheel slip ratio (λ) on  the friction coefficient (µ) during the braking of the car. The friction coefficient reaches a minimum when the slip ratio λ ∼ 1; maximum friction coefficient at the optimal slip ratio value from 0.18 to 0.2. Dynamic Model of the vehicle in the ABS brake study should consider in detail the dynamic aspects of braking and the interaction between the tire and the road profile. CarSim software is used in this study to simulate the braking system of a vehicle operating in industrial plant; Simulation is performed on both cases of ABS and non-ABS braking systems. The results of braking distance, deceleration, and brake pressure are considered and analyzed to select a suitable braking system for the operating conditions of the designed truck.
