  2. Skid mark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_mark

    Skid marks are divided into "acceleration marks" created on acceleration, if the engine provides more power than the tire can transmit; "braking marks", if the brakes "lock up" and cause the tire to slide; or "yaw marks", if the tire slides sideways. Each skid mark has a characteristic appearance, and an experienced accident reconstructor or ...

  3. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

    Anti-lock brakes are the subject of some experiments centred around risk compensation theory, which asserts that drivers adapt to the safety benefit of ABS by driving more aggressively. In a Munich study, half a fleet of taxicabs was equipped with anti-lock brakes, while the other half had conventional brake systems. The crash rate was ...

  4. Jackknifing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackknifing

    Theoretically, this was a guaranteed way to prevent jackknifing; however, frequent use of the trailer brakes alone caused them to overheat and fade while the tractor brakes remained fresh. In the event of an emergency stop , the driver, applying the foot brake, could cause the trailer to jackknife because the tractor brakes lock while the ...

  5. 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.

  6. Cadence braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadence_braking

    Cadence braking or stutter braking is a driving technique that involves pumping the brake pedal and is used to allow a car to both steer and brake on a slippery surface. It is used to effect an emergency stop where traction is limited to reduce the effect of skidding from road wheels locking up under braking. This can be a particular problem ...

  7. Clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clutch

    The clutch consisted of a wrap-spring clutch-brake that was coupled to the rotor by one or two stages of reduction gearing. The clutch-brake locked up when rotated backwards, but also had some spring action. The inertia of the rotor going backwards engaged the clutch and wound the spring. As it unwound, it restarted the motor in the correct ...
