Research of the Vehicle Brake Testing Efficiency

Abstract

At vehicles technical inspection stations, the braking system of a load-carrying vehicle is tested when the vehicle is free of any load; however, such tests do not reflect the operation of the brakes in loaded vehicles. In the Paper, methods for testing the braking system of a load-carrying vehicle are discussed upon; other scientific papers related to operation and testing of brakes are reviewed. In addition, research on establishing interdependence between the wheel braking force and the brake pedal pressing force was carried out.
