The braking system works on the principle of energy conservation converting the kinetic energy of the rotating disk in to heat energy, produced due to friction force between the pads and the disk. Hence, enabling the driver to have a good control over the vehicles dynamics. It enables the driver to press the pedal and control speed by decelerating the vehicle. The braking system is an essential device of a vehicle used to retard the vehicles speed and provide control over its motion. This document gives a brief introduction to braking system and provides a calculation methodology to calculate and determine the rightful braking calipers for a BAJA ATV vehicle, to be stopped within a specified distance running at a specified speed.
Index Terms: Braking system, Disc brakes, Calipers, Weight Transfer, Hydraulic braking, Pascals Law. The related data is calculated and attained to extract average values for different design parameters to make the theoretical calculations as realistic as possible. This paper discusses the reverse calculation of the braking system and eventually calculates the required bore diameter of a caliper and hence apprise about most preferred caliper that should be used to have the most effective braking for a hydraulically operated braking system of a BAJA ATV. The evaluation is done by calculating the required braking torque and comparing it with the generated braking torque. The safety being priority, braking values are computed using mathematical models. Abstract: An important factor in handling of every vehicle is its effective braking, making the vehicle easy and quick to stop with complete control of its essentials in the drivers hand.
