Virtual Brake Timing Test

This student team worked to create a methodology for virtually testing the application delay of different air brake system designs to augment current physical testing. This student team worked to test and model how the influence of individual brake components can effect a combined system, assemble those components into a full system, then physically test that system and work out system simulation based on the component models, and prove out the virtual test methodology.
