PASSENGER-CAR BRAKE PERFORMANCE Limitations and Future Requirements

DISCUSSED here are some of the limitations on the performance of brakes, such as:

1. 1.
   Stopping possibilities as dictated by tire-to-road coefficient of friction.
2. 2.
   Distribution of braking effort.
3. 3.
   Desirable pedal pressure.
4. 4.
   Means for obtaining the necessary braking with least practical effort.
