Abstract: Hydraulic braking systems play a pivotal role in modern automobiles by providing the necessary force for vehicle deceleration. These systems function through the conversion of force applied to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which then actuates the brake components. Over the years, hydraulic systems have evolved to enhance performance, safety, and reliability. The design of hydraulic brake systems is a complex process that incorporates considerations such as fluid dynamics, material properties, and actuator mechanisms. Central to this evolution is the shift towards more efficient and responsive braking systems, including the incorporation of anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC). This paper explores the design principles behind modern hydraulic brake systems, with a focus on system components, fluid dynamics, and the integration of advanced technologies. The importance of optimizing the brake fluid, reducing system weight, and enhancing the durability of brake components is highlighted as critical factors in system design. Moreover, the development of advanced sensors and electronic control systems has significantly improved the performance and safety of hydraulic braking systems. The integration of smart materials and predictive analytics further promises to enhance the future performance of these systems. This review aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the hydraulic brake system design, including the challenges faced by engineers in optimizing system performance and safety while meeting regulatory standards.
