2. Trailer brake controller - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_brake_controller

   The trailer in this case usually has either electric friction brakes or electric-hydraulic trailer brake actuators. Most basic brake controllers will generally have a plus-minus gain adjustment. The tow vehicle operator sets the gain as high as possible but without the trailer brakes locking up after making a few test stops.

3. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

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

   Brake-by-wire. SpeedE, an academic concept car developed for studying drive-by-wire technologies such as 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 ...

4. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   Hydraulic brake. A schematic illustrating the major components of a hydraulic disc brake system. A hydraulic brake is an arrangement of braking mechanism which uses brake fluid, typically containing glycol ethers or diethylene glycol, to transfer pressure from the controlling mechanism to the braking mechanism.

5. Traction control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

   Typically, traction control systems share the electrohydraulic brake actuator (which does not use the conventional master cylinder and servo) and wheel-speed sensors with ABS. The basic idea behind the need for a traction control system is the loss of road grip can compromise steering control and stability of vehicles.

6. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   ABS brakes on a BMW motorcycle. An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti- skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. [1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver ...

7. Electric friction brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_friction_brake

   Electric friction brake. An electric friction brake, often referred to as just electric brake [1] or electric trailer brake, is a brake controlled by an electric current and can be seen on medium duty trailers like caravans/RVs and consumer-grade car trailers. It is related to the electromagnetic track brake used in railways which also use ...
