A Model for Energy Consumption in Heavy Vehicle Braking

A model is presented for studying the energy used by the braking system in heavy vehicles. The aim is to keep the model as simple as possible, while retaining reasonable fidelity for the problem at hand. All actuators are thus created as ideal, i.e. no losses, then simple dissipative loads are added where applicable in order to capture their effects from a vehicle systems perspective. The vehicle
