Abstract - An inboard braking system is a type of braking
system where the brake discs are located inside the vehicle's drivetrain, rather than on the wheels themselves. This type of braking system offers several advantages over traditional outboard systems, including improved weight distribution, reduced unsprung weight, and increased packaging flexibility. This abstract provides a brief overview of the inboard braking system, its components, and its benefits. It also discusses some of the challenges associated with designing and implementing such a system, including cooling and packaging considerations and the need for sophisticated control systems to ensure safe and effective braking performance.
Inboard braking systems are located inside the chassis, which reduces the unsprung weight of the wheels. This can improve the handling and stability of the vehicle, making it more responsive to driver inputs. Inboard brakes are protected from the elements, which can help improve heat dissipation and reduce the risk of brake fade. This is particularly important in high-performance applications where braking is a critical factor. By locating the brakes inside the chassis, inboard braking systems free up space on the outside of the wheels. This can allow for the use of larger tires, suspension components, and other systems that can further improve the performance of the vehicle. Inboard braking systems can be designed to improve the aerodynamics of the vehicle by reducing drag and turbulence. This can improve fuel efficiency and reduce wind noise. Inboard brakes can be more visually appealing than outboard brakes, as they can reduce clutter and visual distractions on the outside of the wheels.
Key Words: Inboard Braking, rotor, caliper, rotor hub.
1. INTRODUCTION An inboard braking system is a type of braking system used in automobiles where the brakes are located inside the vehicle's drivetrain rather than on the wheels themselves. In this system, the brake discs and calipers are mounted on the axle or differential housing, rather than on the wheels. Inboard braking systems are commonly used in highperformance sports cars and race cars because they provide better weight distribution, improved handling, and more consistent braking performance. By keeping the weight of the brakes closer to the centre of the car, inboard braking systems help to reduce the car's unsprung weight and improve its handling and responsiveness. Another advantage of inboard braking systems is that they are better protected from the elements, such as rain, dust, and debris, which can cause damage to the braking components. They are also easier to cool, which helps to prevent brake fade during prolonged or high-intensity use.

3. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE
However, inboard braking systems can be more complex and expensive to design and manufacture compared to traditional outboard braking systems. They also require more maintenance and are more difficult to service when compared to conventional brake systems. Overall, inboard braking systems offer several advantages over outboard braking systems in terms of performance and handling, but they also require more complex design and engineering, which can make them more expensive to produce and maintain.
