        abstract = {The braking system is one of the most important safety components used in vehicles and mechanical systems. The main purpose of a braking system is to reduce the speed of a moving vehicle or to stop it completely whenever required. Brakes work on the principle of friction, where the kinetic energy of a moving object is converted into heat energy which helps in slowing down or stopping the motion. In modern vehicles such as bicycles, motorcycles, and cars, disc braking systems are widely used because they provide better braking performance, faster response, and improved heat dissipation compared to traditional braking systems. The main objective of this project is to design and fabricate a Pedal Operated Disc Braking System Working Model to understand the basic construction and working principle of disc brakes. In this model, a strong frame is prepared on which bearings, axle rod, wheels, brake disc (rotor), brake caliper, brake cable, and pedal mechanism are mounted. The axle is supported by bearings which allow the wheel to rotate freely. A brake disc is fixed at the center of the axle and a brake caliper is mounted near the disc. When the pedal is pressed, the brake cable pulls the caliper mechanism and the brake pads press against the rotating disc. Due to the friction created between the brake pads and the disc surface, the speed of the wheel gradually decreases and finally the wheel stops rotating. This project helps in understanding how mechanical force applied through a pedal can control the motion of a rotating wheel. The model also explains the importance of braking systems in vehicles for safety and control. This working model is very useful for educational purposes, especially for mechanical engineering students, as it helps them understand the construction, components, and working principle of disc braking systems used in real vehicles.},
