Abstract

The condition of the brake system in a motor-car is a very important factor in driving. Many drivers either do not know the warning signs of brake system disorders or cannot help themselves to resolve the simpler ones. We present herein, the models that identify the problems and their solution processes. The data collected from various automobile experts were structured in such a way that they become models, where each problem is linked to different symptoms and correction advices. We developed a diagnostic algorithm, which guided the transformation of the models into a car brake expert system. The program can be installed in a laptop, and overtime, embedded into car dash-boards, to enable drivers conduct FIRST-AID fault rectification routines where the mechanic is not near. This will save time, money, frustration and possibly accident.
