BRAKE SYSTEM BALANCE FOR PASSENGER CARS AND LIGHT TRUCKS
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 . See seminar information on page 23.
Designing a brake system requires the ability to balance a multitude of parameters against the required tradeoffs of system weight, system cost, and system performance. Understanding the basic fundamentals of how each brake component attribute contributes to the overall Force vs Deceleration behavior of the vehicle is critical to the design and release of a safe, legal and optimized system for today’s vehicles. Brake balance also is a contributing factor to other chassis control and safety systems, such as regenerative braking, ABS, and electronic brake distribution (EBD). This web seminar covers 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. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By participating in this web seminar, you will be able to: • Calculate the braking force on a vehicle from the installed brake components • 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 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.
