Abstract A good transportation facility plays important role in the growth of every country. The transportation networks are used to carry goods and passengers with the help of different vehicles. During the journey of every vehicle, it often undergoes braking operation due to transient road and traffic condition. To reduce the speed of the vehicle during braking the conventional brake system is used which consist of brake pad arrangements. The friction brake pads are rubbed against a smooth contact surface so that friction is generated to reduce the speed of the vehicle. Friction causes wear of brake pads and produce brake dust, which is freely released into the environment. Moreover, the produced brake dust particles are light in weight so that it freely floats in the air and inhaled by humans and animals. To investigate the effects of inhaled brake dust, several researchers conducted a clinical trial and found diseases related to the lungs. This article proposes a case study on an alternate solution for the friction brake system by adopting an electric brake system, which is free from dust emission. The outcome of the study shows an effective reduction in brake dust emission and possible risks associated with the health of human beings. Keywords Conventional vehicle · Friction brake · Dust emission · Electric vehicle · Electric braking
1 Introduction The braking operation in most of the automobiles is carried out with a friction brake system either operated with hydraulic or brake by wire system (Jadhav and Sawant 2019). The brake system consists of friction pads which makes contact with a smooth plate, this causes friction and reduce the speed of rolling or moving object (Singaravelu et al. 2019). The friction pads or brake linings are made up of different composite materials such as metal, polymers, ceramics, fibers, etc. The brake pads possess high-temperature stability and wear resistance under different parameters like load, speed, and temperature variations (Rashid et al. 2017). The friction brake linings are manufactured since 1897 and becomes popular in India for automotive applications.

Moreover, asbestos is introduced to manufacture brake pad or lining since 1960. However, harmful characteristics of asbestos demands replacement material for the lining and further research invented the application of new material for manufacturing brake lining. Fiber is the filament material and it consists of several types and found suitable in brake lining. Glass fiber was introduced in 1970
