Braking 2004
Vehicle Braking and Chassis Control
IMechE Event Publications
The increase in levels of sophistication and complexity of modern
passenger cars and commercial vehicles is being driven
by environmental requirements. Braking systems can no longer
be considered in isolation - the interactions between
vehicle braking, steering, handling, etc., particularly in
emergency conditions, are leading to the development of adaptive
integrated vehicle control systems.
Building upon the success of previous volumes in the series,
Braking 2004-Vehicle Braking and Chassis Control reflects
the interaction of braking with the whole vehicle.
Road vehicle braking behaviour experts, both from academia and
industry, present the latest research and development devoted and
applied to all aspects of braking, and report on field experiences
with modern sophisticated systems. Braking 2004 is essential
reading for engineers and researchers from across a wide range of
disciplines, from highway engineers and tyre specialists to experts
in intelligent control systems, and including, of course the
traditional foundation - brake specialists.
