A MECHATRONIC MOCK-UP OF THE VEHICLE 'S TARGETED BRAKING SYSTEM

Abstract

The mechatronic mock-up of the vehicle's aiming braking system is a complex device that combines mechanical, electronic and software components. This mock-up is used to research and test various braking algorithms and strategies, as well as to evaluate and optimize the system's performance under various operating conditions. The model of the aiming braking system includes the following main components: sensors for speed and acceleration, distance traveled, a brake solenoid, indication devices, and a microcontroller for implementing the aiming braking algorithm. The targeted braking system uses an adaptive algorithm to determine the moment and force of braking to bring the vehicle to a stop at a designated point, regardless of the vehicle's parameters, the state of its braking system, the properties of the roadbed and the effects of external disturbances. The use of this targeted braking system in railway transport will improve train safety, reduce the risk of accidents, and increase braking accuracy, for example, when stopping electric trains at unequipped stations, dead-end tracks, etc.
