Abstract
This thesis focuses on the design and development of a pedal-box-integrated emergency brake system for the Squadra Corse Driverless team prototype, participating in various Formula Student competitions. In this context, autonomous vehicles must perceive the environment, process sensor data for path planning, and reproduce driver actions on the steering and pedals through dedicated actuators, with braking being a critical function both in normal manoeuvres and in emergency situations. In addition, all autonomous vehicles competing must enable complete control to the driver at any given moment, making the integration between autonomous and manual operationa vital part of the braking system. The work starts from the current SCD25 braking architecture, which combines a traditional dual-master-cylinder pedal box and separate autonomous actuators.
The adoption of two separate systems significantly increases overall weight while showing an underperforming emergency braking system that causes tyre lockup
