Development of Brake System Plausibility Device of an FSAE Race Car

Abstract

Electric Vehicles are growing faster than the traditional combustion vehicles which are powered by conventional energy resources because of the environmental concern and to attain sustainable development. Formula student is one of the world’s largest student-run competitions. Formula student electric development includes various challenges from both mechanical and electrical fronts. Mechanical parts have their safety standards and measures whereas for electrical front robust safety circuitry must be prepared to reduce the risk of any fatal accident. Generally, Formula student cars are fast and good acceleration, to avoid wheel-to-wheel racing and drag racing or other dangerous stunts, a robust safety circuit Brake system Plausibility Device (BSPD) is designed and tested. This paper discusses the designing, robustness of BSPD devices.
