  2. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    Some shorter drivers' feet may not be long enough to touch the floor and pedals, making them more likely to press the wrong pedal due to a lack of proper spatial or tactile reference. Pedal misapplication may be related to pedal design and placement, as in cases where the brake and accelerator are too close to one another, or the accelerator ...

  3. Threshold braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_braking

    Threshold braking or limit braking is a driving technique most commonly used in motor racing, but also practiced in road vehicles to slow a vehicle at the maximum rate using the brakes. [1] The technique involves the driver controlling the brake pedal (or lever) pressure to maximize the braking force developed by the tires .

  4. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

    The experiments demonstrated that anti-lock brakes can be of great value to motorcycles, for which skidding is involved in a high proportion of accidents. Stopping distances were reduced in most of the tests compared with locked wheel braking, particularly on slippery surfaces, in which the improvement could be as much as 30%.

  5. Braking distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

    The type of brake system in use only affects trucks and large mass vehicles, which cannot supply enough force to match the static frictional force. [1] [Note 2] The braking distance is one of two principal components of the total stopping distance. The other component is the reaction distance, which is the product of the speed and the ...

  6. Emergency brake assist - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake_assist

    By interpreting the speed and force with which the brake pedal is pushed, the system detects if the driver is trying to execute an emergency stop, and if the brake pedal is not fully applied, the system overrides and fully applies the brakes until the anti-lock braking system (ABS) takes over to stop the wheels locking up. [1]

  7. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Brake fade caused by overheating brake fluid (often called Pedal Fade) can also be reduced through the use of thermal barriers that are placed between the brake pad and the brake caliper piston, these reduce the transfer of heat from the pad to the caliper and in turn hydraulic brake fluid. Some high-performance racing calipers already include ...
