  2. Braking distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

    Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is primarily affected by the original speed of the vehicle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface, [Note 1] and negligibly by the tires' rolling resistance and vehicle's air drag.

  3. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    [72] [73] [3] In most cars, fully applied brakes are easily capable of stopping the car while the accelerator pedal is also fully applied. [17] " Pumping the brakes " is strongly discouraged during an unintended acceleration event, as this can lead to a loss of braking power . [ 74 ]

  4. Brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

    Further, brakes are often mounted on wheels, and unsprung weight can significantly hurt traction in some circumstances. "Weight" may mean the brake itself, or may include additional support structure. NoiseBrakes usually create some minor noise when applied, but often create squeal or grinding noises that are quite loud.

  5. Brake wear indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_wear_indicator

    The embedded sensor in the brake pad 2 contacts the rotor and creates a connection to ground of the sensor. The metal plate 3 contacts the rotor and creates a noise. This wear clip should be positioned so that the rotor contacts the clip before it contacts the brake pad. The rotor should push against that clip, not drag it away from the brake pad.

  6. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

    Exhaust brakes are simpler in operation than an engine brake.Essentially, the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve.This raises the pressure in the exhaust system, forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders, so again the engine is acting as an air compressor, with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe, retarding ...

  7. Brake pad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_pad

    The concept of brake pads or disc brakes as an alternative to drum brakes had been around at least as early as a patent by F. W. Lanchester in 1902. [2] However, due to high cost and inefficiencies compared to drum brakes they were not commonly implemented until after World War II. [3]

  8. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

    The ECU constantly monitors the rotational speed of each wheel; if it detects the wheel rotating significantly slower than the speed of the vehicle, a condition indicative of impending wheel lock, it actuates the valves to reduce hydraulic pressure to the brake at the affected wheel, thus reducing the braking force on that wheel; the wheel then ...

  9. Noise, vibration, and harshness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise,_vibration,_and...

    Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), also known as noise and vibration (N&V), is the study and modification of the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles, particularly cars and trucks. While noise and vibration can be readily measured, harshness is a subjective quality, and is measured either via jury evaluations, or with analytical ...
