CHASSIS AND VEHICLE DYNAMICS
−− Determination of special actual brake balance conditions (front only, rear only)
In three-sessions, this web seminar will cover the fundamentals of the development of braking forces generated by the brake system and the theory and principals to properly balance a brake system in accordance with legal requirements. Brake balance modifiers will also be presented. This live online course allows for a detailed presentation of this topic for those unable to participate in the longer and broader classroom seminar, Hydraulic Brake Systems for Passenger Cars and Light Trucks (ID# C0509). This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 6 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this seminar, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate and the $5 student CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103. Learning Objectives By participating in this web seminar, you will be able to: • Calculate the braking force on a vehicle from the installed brake component • Determine the deceleration achieved by a vehicle for a given set of brake components • Analyze and interpret the actual brake balance for a given vehicle and brake components • Calculate the ideal brake forces required for a vehicle • Evaluate tradeoffs between actual and ideal brake forces • Calculate the impact of brake balance modifiers on vehicle braking performance Who Should Attend This course is designed for engineers interested in or responsible for: the specification, prediction and validation of braking system performance; brake component design by providing insight into the interaction of components and the contribution to system level performance metrics; the tuning and calibration of Chassis Control Systems including ABS, TCS, ESP, ROM and Regenerative Braking Systems. Practical experience in the design or validation of brake or chassis control systems is helpful in getting the most from this course. This course also satisfies a requirement in the Accident Reconstruction Certificate Program.
SESSION THREE • Brake Balance Analysis
−− Derivation of ideal brake force balance for a vehicle −− Tradeoff analysis between actual brake force and ideal brake forces −− Utilizing brake balance modifiers to refine the brake system

Commercial Vehicle Braking Systems 3 Days | Classroom Seminar I.D.# C0233 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 individuals and their organizations in preparing for these new truck braking standards, this seminar focuses attendees 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 attendees 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. Attendees will receive the text, “Commercial Vehicle Braking Systems: Air Brakes, ABS and Beyond,” written by Leonard C. Buckman. This course has been approved by the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR) for 18 Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Upon completion of this seminar, accredited reconstructionists should mail a copy of their course certificate and the $5 student CEU fee to ACTAR, PO Box 1493, North Platte, NE 69103.
Learning Objectives By attending this seminar, you will be able to: • Design safe and efficient braking systems • Test and measure braking performance • Maintain and troubleshoot braking systems
