  2. Road slipperiness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_slipperiness

    A small change in road slipperiness can have a drastic effect on surface friction: decreasing the coefficient of friction from 0.45 to 0.35, equivalent to adding a dusting of wet snow, increased the accident rate by almost 1000%. [2] As such, road agencies have a number of approaches to decreasing road slipperiness.

  3. Brake lining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_lining

    The brake lining is that part of the brake pad which actually contacts the metal brake disc (rotor) when the brake is engaged. Using a typical bicycle brake as an example, the backing would be the metal shell which provides mechanical support, and the lining would be the rubbery portion which contacts the rims when the brakes are applied.

    Rim brakes are inexpensive, light, mechanically simple, easy to maintain, and powerful. However, they perform relatively poorly when the rims are wet, and will brake unevenly if the rims are even slightly warped. Because rims can carry debris from the ground to the brake pads, rim brakes are more prone to clogging with mud or snow than disc ...

  5. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that utilizes a friction braking system including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and bicycles. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc ...

    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. Noise – Brakes usually create some minor noise when applied, but often create squeal or grinding noises that are quite loud.
