Experimental Study of the Correlation between the Wear and the Braking System Efficiency of a Vehicle

The growing number of vehicles leads to increasingly intense and congested traffic, which will additionally put demand on the braking system, drivers behave more aggressively. As a result, system must be durable efficient. For this purpose, study behavior in conditions moderate traffic is required increase safety participants—respectively, demonstrate need for frequent replacement some elements. Thus, series successive tests were performed vehicle, through degree wear brake pads discs was monitored periodically, resulting efficiency evolution system. carried out both laboratory (on dynamometer) establish according parameters considered essential. experimental showed that recommendations regarding frequency are inconsistent with their actual wear. Therefore, aim paper subject testing depending vehicle mass, travel speed, distance driven, time, based tests, stand in-traffic, road regulations. validation tested done by measuring stopping time relation initial mass kilometers traveled, traffic.
