Braking system is one of the important safety components of a vehicle. It is mainly used to decelerate vehicles from an
initial speed to a given speed. A friction based braking system is a common device to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy
through a friction between the brake pads and the rotor faces. Because high temperatures can lead to overheating of the brake
fluid, seals and other components, the stopping capability of a brake increases with the rate at which heat is dissipated due to
forced convection and thermal capacity of the system. The braking system was designed as a hydraulic system with two master
cylinders, one for the braking of the front two tires and one for braking of the rear two tires. Attached to each master cylinder
are two universal mount calipers, one located at each of the tires for a total of four calipers for the system, as well as four rotors
or brake discs.
