COMMERCIAL VEHICLE BRAKING SYSTEMS
“An excellent course which provides a comprehensive overview of braking systems for Commercial Vehicles.” Earl Brown Commercial Vehicle Sales Manager TMD Friction
Increased public pressure to improve commercial truck safety and new stopping distance regulations have intensified the need to better understand the factors influencing heavy vehicle braking performance. To assist you and your organization in preparing for these new truck braking standards, this seminar focuses you on understanding medium-duty hydraulic brake systems and heavy-duty air brake systems and how both systems’ performance can be predicted, maintained and optimized. The function and application of the major brake system components will be explained and you will discover how brakes, tires and roadways interact as a system. Federal braking regulations for both hydraulic and air brake vehicles will also be covered. You will receive the text, Commercial Vehicle Braking Systems: Air Brakes, ABS and Beyond , written by Leonard C. Buckman.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Design safe and eªcient braking systems • Test and measure braking performance • Maintain and troubleshoot braking systems
• Comply with state and federal regulations on brakes • Describe the brake implications of accident investigation
WHO SHOULD ATTEND This seminar is designed for engineers and technicians who are involved in the design, development and testing of heavy vehicle brakes. Fleet personnel involved with safety and brake system specification and maintenance, driver-trainers, and truck accident investigators will also find this course of value.
