Component based modeling for structuring measurement Preliminary modeling applied to automotive braking behavior

This paper exposes a methodological approach that intends to lead later to an interactive braking system simulation model. Our Component Based Modeling (CBM) method begins by the product definition and the analysis of significant moments to determine the actions of the driver and the interactions produced between the components of the braking system, the driver and the environment. All our approach is based on the concept of product lifecycle. Development, qualification and updating of the automotive braking system model are going to be done thanks to instrumentation with sensors and micro-sensors. These elements have the advantage of being easily integrable and non intrusive.
