- The braking system is a major part of dealing with Go-karts, where speed and control combine to create an enthusiastic experience. This research article discusses the design and analysis of the braking system of a go-kart vehicle. In this case, constraints are based on rulebooks, and optimisation is performed depending on the requirements. The process flow also carries material selection for components and an analysis to determine their structural and thermal properties. This study also includes a comparison of brake rotors and their specifications to meet the higher performance. The design combines mechanical and hydraulic principle-based components to balance efficiency, cost, and maintenance requirements. In this investigation into the braking system, various design and analysis softwares are used. This study offers a concept for an optimized braking system with enough information to construct the go-kart vehicle's braking system.
