Driver-vehicle interaction in braking
… that provide intuitive brake control and proper braking performance information for the driver. As a preliminary study in brake system design, the characteristics of human leg motion and its underlying motor control scheme were studied through experiments and simulations. Automotive brake systems …

Discrete Tire Modeling for Anti-lock Braking System Simulations
… various high-frequency events such as anti-lock braking and short-wavelength disturbances from the road. Major thrust has been provided by the tire industry to develop simulation models that accurately predict the dynamic response of tires without the use of computationally intensive tools such …

A comparison of bi-directional disc brake rotor passage designs
An important part of automobile safety is the braking system. Disc brakes have been widely used in automobiles for sped retardation for over 30 years. During that time, they have developed from a simple disc to a complex disc with channels, vanes, holes and grooves. The stopping capability of disc …

Deterministic and stochastic braking distance prediction of disc-braked rail vehicles
… of rail-bound traffic, the prediction of the braking performance plays a key role in improving the infrastructure capacity without compromising safety. Against this background, this works addresses the complexity of frictional brake forces and contributes to an improved brake performance …

Dynamic Modeling and Lateral Stability Analysis of Long Combination Vehicles
… vehicle dynamic models. The disc and drum brake braking performance are evaluated and compared in straight-line braking and combined steering and braking at a 150-ft J-turn maneuver. In straight-line braking, the simulation results indicate that disc brakes provide significantly shorter braking …

Design and Implementation of a Clutch and Brake System for a Single Wheel Indoor Tire Testing Rig
… test rig was designed and built to study the performance of tires in off-road conditions on surfaces such as soil, sand, and ice. Understanding the braking performance of tires is crucial, especially for terrains like ice, which has a low coefficient of friction. Also, rolling resistance is …

Maximizing Energy Harvesting in Electric Vehicles through Optimal Regenerative Braking Utilization
… significant improvements in drivability and performance, the global EV market still only accounts for a fraction of new vehicle sales annually. One important obstacle to the large-scale adoption of EVs is their restricted driving range. In spite of substantial research efforts, there is still …

Towards Sustainable Braking: Effects of Alternative Ingredients on the Tribological Properties of Friction Materials
… It has to satisfy multiple requirements such as braking performance, wear resistance and low noise production. In the last years, a further requirement has been gaining increasing attention: their particulate matter emission. Indeed, brake systems are one of the most relevant sources of …

Low-Speed Maneuverability, High-Speed Roll-Stability, and Brake Type Performance of Heavy Truck 33-ft Double Trailers
… maneuverability, roll-stability, and brake type performance of 33-ft double trailers. Little literature exists for 33-ft doubles because they are uncommon on the U.S. roads due to current federal restrictions limiting long-combination vehicles to 28-ft doubles. With the continual rise in …
