The aim of this project is to predict vehicle stopping distances for various types of braking conditions. A comprehensive vehicle braking model has been developed. The influences of several factors involved during braking are computed in this model with emphasis on the effects of tyres, brakes, suspensions, environment and driver. The model using experimental data from field sources has been validated. The model results in accurate stopping distance values (i.e. simulation outputs always remain within close range of track test stopping distances). By predicting stopping distances under given sets of vehicle, driver and environmental conditions, this model enables quick and accurate estimation of vehicle braking behaviour and capability.
