braking pressure
1braking distance — The distance traveled by a motor vehicle from the time that brake pressure is applied until the vehicle comes to a full stop. For a chart of braking distance in terms of percentages of braking efficiency with formulas and separate chart of… …
2Anti-lock braking system — An anti lock braking system (ABS, from German: Antiblockiersystem) is a safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs while braking,… …
3Engine braking — is where the retarding forces within an engine are used to slow a vehicle down, as opposed to using an external braking mechanism, for example friction brakes or magnetic brakes. The term is often confused with several other types of braking,… …
4Threshold braking — or limit braking is a driving technique most commonly used in motor racing, but also practised in road vehicles to slow a vehicle at the optimum rate using the brakes. This is mostly used in vehicles without an anti lock braking system fitted,… …
5Left-foot braking — is the technique of using the left foot to operate the brake pedal in an automobile, leaving the right foot dedicated to the throttle pedal. [ [http://www.team oneil.com/press4.htm Team O Neil Rally School Car Control Center | Press ] ] It… …
6Counter-pressure brake — The counter pressure brake (German: Gegendruckbremse), also named the Riggenbach counter pressure brake after its inventor, Niklaus Riggenbach, is a dynamic railway brake on steam locomotives that, through a combination of means, brakes the… …
7Magnetic braking — The magnetic field lines rotates together with the Sun as a solid object. Ionized material carried along the field lines will at some point rc escape the magnetic field lines and thus take away the Sun s angular momentum Magnetic braking is a… …
8Combined braking system — A combined braking system (CBS), also called linked braking system (LBS), is a system for linking front and rear brakes on a motorcycle or scooter.[1] In this system, the rider s action of depressing one of the brake levers applies both front and …
9Dynamic braking — Norfolk Southern Unit #5348 with a Dynamic brake. The cooling grill for the brake grid resistors is at the top center of the locomotive. Dynamic braking is the use of the electric traction motors of a railroad vehicle as generators when slowing… …
10Tire-pressure monitoring system — A tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles. The system is also sometimes referred to as a tire pressure indication system (TPIS).… …
