Brake forces for different conditions have been used to create an artificial neural network (ANN) model. A mathematical formulation is obtained by considering effective factors of brake force (slip, tread depth, road surface, turn angle, tread profile, tire pressure and Toe of the wheel). There is a good agreemnet between experimental data and ANN model. The best appraoch with minimum errors is performed using LM algorithm with 4 neurons on hidden layers. Statistical coefficient of multiple determinations (R-2 value) is obtained as 0,999699 for training data and 0,999178 for testing data.
