Abstract
In this article, a new force transducer is designed, developed and built for the measurement of braking forces in the wheel rim of a motor vehicle. The parameters of the transducer design are justified using numerical simulation. In order to install it in the vehicle in a simple and interference-free way, the metal base of the caliper rod is used. It is manufactured and installed in a vehicle in order to obtain the signals of the wheel braking torque, in real time, and at different speeds of circulation, carrying out several tests on the track. Subsequently, data are obtained from calculations of the disc brake system itself. The latter provides instantaneous adherence values between the brake pad and the disc.
Highlights
Comparing the vehicles manufactured in the last 20–25 years with the current ones, there are abundant differences in aspects such as comfort, economy, functionality, and in particular, safety aspects, both in active and passive systems
The sensor is located in the brake caliper of a disc brake
The numerical simulation allows the location of the gauge to be precisely determined
Summary
Comparing the vehicles manufactured in the last 20–25 years with the current ones, there are abundant differences in aspects such as comfort, economy, functionality, and in particular, safety aspects, both in active and passive systems. Active safety systems help prevent traffic accidents and passive systems protect passengers once an accident has occurred. A vehicle’s braking system is one of the most important active safety systems. Braking systems have been improved and electronic systems have been incorporated into them as an aid to vehicle control. Regardless of the additional electronic systems, braking is still carried out in the same way, by acting on the friction-line brake shoes with pneumatic or hydraulic systems. The structure and components of the system have hardly changed
