Analysis of a Braking System on the Basis of Structured Analysis Methods

In this paper, we present the general context of the research in the domain of analysis and modeling of mechatronic systems. In fact, we present à bibliographic review on some works of research about the systemic analysis of mechatronic systems. To better understand its characteristics, we start with an introduction about mechatronic systems and various fields related to these systems, after we present a few analysis and design methods applied to mechatronic systems. Finally, we apply the two methods SADT (Structured Analysis Design Technique) and SA-RT (Structured Analysis Real Time) to the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).
