The paper deals with a method implemented at FIAT auto to study braking systems design, modelling components characteristics through LMS Imagine.Lab AMESim. It summarizes the potential improvement possible by using modelling techniques in chassis systems design. The first part consisted in producing a passive braking system model. A first validation was carried out on a test bench by using components of different braking systems. Particular attention was devoted to booster modeling both in semi-stationary and dynamic conditions. The second part was calipers, roll-back and thermal phenomena modeling. Finally, it modeled Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) Hydraulic Units and their integration with control strategies and with vehicle dynamics model.
