2. 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 ...

3. Drum brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_brake

   The parking (or emergency) brake system controls the brakes through a series of steel cables that are connected to either a hand lever or a foot pedal. The idea is that the system is fully mechanical and completely bypasses the hydraulic system so that the vehicle can be brought to a stop even if there is a total brake failure.

4. Transmission brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_brake

   Drum brakes allow simpler adjustment with cable-actuated hand lever mechanisms. The brake is mounted to the rear output shaft of the transfer box. As the transmission brake is mounted inboard of the final drive and its reduction gearing, the brake rotates relatively faster, but with less torque, than a wheel brake. The apparently undersized ...

5. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-by-wire

   Brake-by-wire technology in the automotive industry is the ability to control brakes through electronic means, without a mechanical connection that transfers force to the physical braking system from a driver input apparatus such as a pedal or lever. [1] The three main types of brake-by-wire systems are: electronic parking brakes which have ...

6. Shift-by-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift-by-wire

   The main components of a park by wire system include the driver interface which could be a lever, switch, or knob; an electronic control unit; and actuators which are capable of driving the parking pawl into and out of the locking position with the parking gear of the transmission.
