  2. Automated emergency braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_emergency...

    AEB differs from forward collision warning: FCW alerts the driver with a warning but does not by itself brake the vehicle. [4] According to Euro NCAP, AEB has three characteristics: [5] Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation.

  3. Electronic brakeforce distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_brakeforce...

    [1] [2] Typically, the front end carries more weight and EBD distributes less braking pressure to the rear brakes so the rear brakes do not lock up and cause a skid. [3] In some systems, EBD distributes more braking pressure at the rear brakes during initial brake application before the effects of weight transfer become apparent.

  4. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

    Modern versions may not only prevent wheel lock under braking, but may also alter the front-to-rear brake bias. This latter function, depending on its specific capabilities and implementation, is known variously as electronic brakeforce distribution, traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control (ESC).

  5. Emergency brake assist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake_assist

    Brake assist (BA or BAS) or emergency brake assist (EBA) is a term for an automobile braking technology that increases braking pressure in an emergency. The first application was developed jointly by Daimler-Benz and TRW/LucasVarity. Research conducted in 1992 at the Mercedes-Benz driving simulator in Berlin revealed that more than 90% of ...

  6. Emergency brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake

    Advanced emergency braking system, where brakes are applied automatically in case of emergency; Emergency brake assist (EBA or BA), which increases braking effectiveness when a human driver executes a panic stop; Parking brake or hand brake in automobiles, which can also be used in case of failure of the main braking system

  7. Parking brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_brake

    In manual transmission vehicles, the parking brake is engaged to help keep the vehicle stationary while parked, especially if parked on an incline. [2] [3]While automatic transmission vehicles have a "Park" gear with a parking pawl that immobilizes the transmission, it is still recommended to use the parking brake, as the pawl in the gearbox could fail due to stress or another vehicle striking ...

  8. Relay valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_valve

    Without relay valves, it would take too long for sufficient air to travel from the brake pedal valve to the rear of the truck or trailer in order to apply the rear service brakes concurrently with the front service brakes, resulting in a condition known as brake lag. To correct this condition on a long-wheel-base vehicle, a relay valve is ...

  9. Collision avoidance system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_avoidance_system

    AEB differs from forward collision warning: FCW alerts the driver with a warning but does not by itself brake the vehicle. [11] According to Euro NCAP, AEB has three characteristics: [12] Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation.
