A REVIEW ON THE MECHANICAL TYPES OF COMBINE BRAKE SYSTEMS IN MOTORBIKE

Abstract

ABSTRACT - The operational mechanism of the Combined Brake Systems (CBS) is designed to
instantaneously engage the functions of front brake together with rear brake through a unified control
input facilitated by a CBS mechanism. The CBS mechanisms employed in high capacity scooters,
touring bikes in medium-sized, together with cruisers differ significantly from those used in light
motorbikes, which typically utilize a mechanical system. Thus, the primary goal for the recent work is to
conduct a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the mechanical types of Combined Brake
Systems (mCBS) used in light motorbikes. It was observed that there are five distinct types of layout
design for mCBS. This layout is essential for integration with various brake systems and brake
actuation controls. This is crucial to obtain the optimum performance of braking and motorbike stability.
The mCBS mechanisms, especially those achieving nonlinear force distribution, exhibit promising
capabilities for optimizing braking efficiency. Legislative mandates in regions such as the EU, India,
Taiwan, and Japan underscore the growing importance and adoption of these systems, emphasizing
the need for continued innovation. Future research should focus on developing sophisticated models for
nonlinear brake force distribution. Additionally, exploring new technologies to enhance the effectiveness
and affordability of these braking systems is essential.
