Numerical Modelling and Simulation of Anti-lock Braking System for Two-wheeler Electric bike using Scilab Xcos

Disc brakes are the most popular type of brakes used in the two-wheeler segment and are easily available in the market. The improper brakes result in serious problems in vehicles. The main idea of this paper is to design a braking system for a two-wheeler application. The paper discusses the design, analysis, and simulation of disc brakes. The disc is first selected using the standard brake disc calculation. To verify the selection of disk, torque at wheel and torque at the disc are compared. Thermomechanical (Transient) analysis is done on ANSYS 2021 to check for the effect of braking force applied by the disc on the rotor disc. The mathematical model of the ABS model is done on Scilab Xcos. The main aim of studying the system using a mathematical model is to verify if the selected disc brakes are safe enough to be installed on a two-wheeler. The mathematical model also has stopping distance and the stopping time as the output which validates the selection of the disc. Hence best-suited brakes are selected based on the performance and the analysis.
