Air brake system has been widely used in heavy trucks and intercity buses for its great superiori-ty over other brake system. The practical per-formance of air brake system may be greatly different from if we analyze it with static theory. Thus; it is necessary to build an integrate air brake system model to simulate the process of brake accurately. However; the dynamic mathematic model of air brake system is very complicate; which makes the model hard to be solved. In this paper; the components of air brake system are decomposed to several basic standard pneumatic components; and then build the system based on these basic standard pneu-matic components. The standard pneumatic components which are built in the software-Mworks based on Modelica language include cylinder; nozzle; air reservoir; volume; and air pipe. An air brake system which contains brake valve; relay valve; brake chambers and pipelines is made based on the standard pneumatic components. The simulation results show the dynamic characteristics of air brake system.
