Abstract

Vehicle Hill-start assist (HSA) system is designed specifically with intention of developing safety in the heavy load automobiles during the uphill. In the anti-lock braking system (ABS), HSA plays an integral role in avoiding accidents and ensuring the optimum brake pressure is supplied to the system to have braking and hold. The paper discusses about the dynamic analysis and real time validation of the HSA proto model developed. Performance test and the leakage test are performed to evaluate the actual performance of the system. The results of the tests were promising and inline to the expected standards. The vehicle testing was done on the truck with various combinations like boost pressure, high grade boost pressure and mild grade with boost pressure. The results were compared to check whether, the HSAperformance varies as per the response expected
