II. THEORY
A. What is Brake?
A brake is a mechanical device that inhibits motion by
absorbing energy from a moving system. It is used for
slowing or stopping a moving vehicle, wheel, axle, or to
prevent its motion, most often accomplished by means of
friction. In cars with rear disc brakes, the parking brake either
actuates the disc calipers (again, with much less force) or a
small drum brake housed within the hub assembly (the inner Fig. 1:
circumference of the disc is often used instead of a separate
drum).

VI. CONCLUSIONS
In the project we seen the system is quit important for the
safety purpose. And Pneumatic system design is the
important part in the project. The pneumatic system is the key
for the actuation of the handbrake for upward and downward
direction which can directly applied the brake system.
