Abstract:
Three experiments of brake pedal location accuracy were conducted using 24 subject drivers. The first experiment tested the accuracy of recall of drivers for the brake pedal location of the vehicle with which they were very familiar. The second experiment examined the accuracy of recall for a brake pedal location with which they had recent practice. The last experiment attempted to determine if practice with one brake pedal location would interfere with the accuracy of reproduction of a newly learned pedal location. The results of the experiments indicate that subject drivers have difficulty in reproducing the location of brake pedals. This difficulty exists for familiar brake pedal locations as well as newly learned brake pedal locations. Further there is an indication that practice with one brake pedal location may influence the accuracy of reproducing the location one newly learned.

Abstract:
Over the years, designers have been developing various brake pedals in a bid to eliminate the operator’s risk of pressing the wrong pedal and to reduce his or her braking reaction time. One of the effective methods for reducing weight of trucks brake pedal is to change the design structure of it. The brake pedal is designed and analysed using Ansys 14.0. Different materials are used for the effective design of brake pedal with weight reduction of pedal and improved grip between foot and the pedal. The FEA results obtained and discussed herein confer optimum, cost effective design solution, easy to manufacture, and exhibits better grip.

Abstract:
Wire of the brake pedal is not directly connected to the hydraulic environment in the braking By-wire system so the driver has no direct pedal feel. Then pedal simulator is an important part in the brake-by-wire system. A pedal force simulator was designed based on the traditional brake pedal curve of pedal force and pedal travel, AMESim and Matlab / Simulink were used as a platform to build simulation models and control algorithms. The simulation results show that the pedal stroke simulator and the control strategy meet the performance requirements of traditional braking system. It can be used in brake by wire system.

Abstract:
This study presents the development and validation of an analytical dynamic model of the brake apply system of a vehicle. The brake apply system includes the models for brake pedal, vacuum booster, master cylinder, and proportioning valves; the interactions with the wheel brake system, which comprises the front and rear foundation brakes, are included by modeling their compliances. Laboratory experiments are performed on a bench setup of the brake system and the experimental data is compared with the simulation results. The model is formulated such that the inputs are the pedal force applied by the driver, the vacuum supplied by the engine and the physical parameters of the brake components. Preliminary analysis shows that the simulation tracks the data quite closely throughout the regime of operation. Sensitivity studies are performed to show the effect of different friction parameters on the system performance.

Brake-by-wire is development direction of vehicle brake system, pedal feeling simulator is an important part of brake-by-wire. In this paper, one type of pedal feeling simulator whose damping is adjustable based on controllable rheological properties of magnetorheological liquid is proposed on the basis of analyzing relationship between pedal displacement and pedal pressure of traditional brake system. The structure is designed, damping is calculated, magnetic circuit is analysed and parameters are confirmed. The result shows that the pedal feeling simulator designed can meet actual requirements, and has certain practical value.

Abstract:
This article highlights the fact that engineers who design and test anti-lock brake systems (ABS) have been trying to come up with ways to minimize the noise and vibration that drivers hear and feel when they stomp on the brake pedals. The ABS engineers want drivers to do during a panic stop is to let their feet off the brakes. According to the engineers, braking should be the concern, because the less time the driver worries about stopping the car, the more time there is to concentrate on steering it. The mechanical components in both systems are functionally identical, consisting of a brake pedal, a master cylinder and booster, hydraulic lines and fluid, wheel calipers, brake pads, and rotors. In fact, unless the system is actuated by hard braking, ABS acts just like an ordinary disc brake system. Engine noise would only mask the ABS noise reaching the binaural head, which sits inside the passenger compartment where a driver would normally be.

Abstract:
A brake pedal simulator in a Brake-by-Wire system is studied for fault tolerant control of the brake pedal signals. This study is conducted for the pedal simulator installed with a sensor that generates two analogue signals. Several realistic fault modes recognized by automotive experts have been analyzed. To solve the fault modes, we propose a fault tolerant output selector that can handle transient, intermittent, or permanent faults. The fault tolerant output selector, based on a fault detection algorithm, uses the BLS(brake light switch) signal and the Acc(acceleration pedal) signal to find faults and isolate them. To confirm the system performance, the fault modes were simulated. The result showed the reliability and safety of the pedal simulator for dealing with unexpected faults.

Abstract:
The feeling of the brake pedal is one of the most important factors for the driver confidence during brake. Vacuum booster plays a significant role on the brake pedal feeling analysis. The traditional characteristic model cannot satisfy our objective, so a model based on the structure is needed. This paper presents a model based on the structure defined as 3 springs, 2 valves, 1 reaction washer and dynamic air flows, gives out the detailed condition to judge for the states of vacuum booster which can give more details to the brake pedal feeling. After simulation, the conclusion that the model is proper for pedal feeling can be drawn.
