Abstract
A WORKABLE, effective regulatory measure to assure minimum brake-performance requirements requires:
-
1.
Commercially available instruments which facilitate rapid testing.
-
2.
Statement of the requirement in units which allow most effective evaluation of braking performance.
-
3.
Compliance with the requirement must be possible in both road and inspection-station tests.
The conclusions led to the final recommendation which was adopted for the Uniform Vehicle Code of 1954. A recommended enforcement program and testing requirements for the several vehicle classes are set forth.
