A farewell to brake reaction times? Kinematics-dependent brake response in naturalistic rear-end emergencies.
Driver braking behavior was analyzed using time-series recordings from naturalistic rear-end conflicts (116 crashes and 241 near-crashes), including events with and without visual distraction among drivers of cars, heavy trucks, and buses. A simple piecewise linear model could be successfully fitted, per event, to the observed driver decelerations, allowing a detailed elucidation of when driver...
متن کاملReaction times to neon, LED, and fast incandescent brake lamps.
Standard incandescent brake lamps have a relatively slow rise time. It takes approximately a quarter of a second for them to reach 90% of asymptotic light output, causing potential delays in responses by following drivers. The present study evaluated reaction times to brake signals from standard incandescent brake lamps and from three alternative brake lamps with substantially faster rise times...
متن کاملEffect of Flashing Brake Lights on Drivers\' Brake Reaction Time and Release Gas Pedal Time
Objective: It is believed that drivers play a crucial role in accidents. Paying attention to brake lights, a driver may find out about danger and react. Rear-end collision accidents refer to the part of the accidents due to driver inattention or slow reaction. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dynamic flashing brake lights (7 Hz) on drivers' brake reaction time using the driv...
متن کاملBrake Fluid Quality and Brake Performance
The condition of brake fluid is important to automotive safety, reliability and brake system longevity. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. Increasing moisture levels in the brake fluid lower the boiling point, increase viscosity and cause corrosion of system components. Brake fluid with high moisture content can boil when extreme braking is required or a pad sticks. The effect of boiling i...
متن کاملHow to play a disc brake
We consider a gyroscopic system with two degrees of freedom under the action of small dissipative and non-conservative positional forces, which has its origin in the models of rotating bodies of revolution being in frictional contact. The spectrum of the unperturbed gyroscopic system forms a ”spectral mesh” in the plane ”frequency – gyroscopic parameter” with double semi-simple purely imaginary...
