This study is concerned with the braking distance estimation using frictional energy rate. First, steady state rolling analysis is performed, and using this result, the braking distance is estimated. Dynamic rolling analysis during entire braking time period is impratical, so that this study divides the vehicle velocity by 10㎞/h to reduce the analysis time. The multiplication of the slip rate and the shear stress provides the frictional energy rate. Using frictional energy rate, total braking distance is estimated. In addition. ABS(Anti-lock Brake System) is considered, and two type of slip ratios are compared. One is 15% slip ratio for the ABS condition. and the other is 100% slip ratio which leads to the almost same braking distance as the elementary kinematic theory. A slip ratio is controlled by angular velocity in ABAQUS/Explicit. A 15% slip ratio gives the real vehicle's braking distance when the frictional energy occurred at disk pad is included. Disk pad's frictional energy rate is calculated by the theoretical approach,
