The current tendencies in automotive industry need intensive investigation in problems of interaction of active safety systems with brake system equipments. At the same time, the opportunity to decrease the power take-off of single components, for example such as brake system, is investigated. Authors propose a modification of disk brake structure with self-boosting characteristic for commercial vehicles. This brake gear due to original construction will allow decrease force required for its drive under the condition that brake gear will generate such brake torque as conventional disk brake. The compilation and investigation on proposed brake gear model in AMESim software is supposed. The obtained results can find application during designing of new types of brake systems especially for heavy vehicles and buses.The performed review and the analysis of brake designs allowed to develop the original disc brake mechanism with self-boosting. The offered brake favorably differs from the considered brake mechanisms with the minimal changes, which are necessary for bringing in serial brake mechanism design and also reliable working capacity in all range of friction coefficient between brake pads and brake disk during operation. Besides it, tests which were spent in AMESim showed advantages of the offered design in comparison with serial disc brake mechanism. Thus, the offered design possesses the following basic advantages: The minimal changes of the serial brake design; Reliability in all working range; Maintenance of the best brake dynamics at identical parameters of the brake mechanism and equal driving effort; Decreased power-off from engine at braking. The design of the disc brake mechanism with self-boosting offered by authors at present is developed as the pilot project for bus manufacture at the Minsk Automotive Plant.
