A conceptual model for supplement braking systems in automobiles for demanding circumstances
Supplement braking systems serve as backup or enhancement mechanisms when primary hydraulic brakes face extreme conditions like brake fade, hydraulic failure, or extended heavy braking demands (mountain descents, heavy loads, emergency scenarios). Since the brake system is one of the most crucial control systems in cars, it is not an exception to the periodic advancements in technology. Driving is a complex task that requires the correlation of numerous cognitive aspects, such as observing the state of the road, recognizing it in light of the circumstances, and making a quick and appropriate decision. In addition to the foot-operated brakes used in the current models of automobiles, we suggest an additional mechanism that a co-passenger sitting next to the driver can use to apply the brakes when necessary. The Supplement Braking System (SBS) mechanism, which would be used in a variety of demanding scenarios to boost passenger and vehicle safety, is conceptually modeled and developed in this study. The SBS is primarily useful when the driver is unable to manage the vehicle because of illness, such as when driving uphill and it gives the co-passenger a chance to reduce the causation. This conceptual model prioritizes safety through redundancy while maintaining vehicle controllability under extreme braking demands. The system would require extensive testing and regulatory approval before implementation.
